I have a leaking fuel cap(new seal kit installed), and a pressurising tank .... vacuum after riding and pressure when sitting in the sun.
I have been blowing compressed air in the vent tube under the tank and it appears the burrito is blocked...(the water drain was also blocked, but was easy to clear)...
I have poked wire up the vent tube and I can get it all the way up to the burrito , where it stops.... this is not easy to do, and I can only get so much pressure on it.... the small hole in the burrito is clear, I can poke it with wire..
It kind of looks like I will end drilling a hole in the burrito to give me access to the top of the tube where it enters the burrito.... the tank has quite a layer of varnish, so will need a clean out anyway....
thoughts?... I did lots of googleing and this doesn't appear to be a common issue...
this is the best pic I could find of the burrito
