I thought you guys were crazy, talking about "boiling" fuel, that was until this past Friday! I'm sitting there at the top of this long rocky climb in North Carolina when I could hear it boiling to the point that I was tempted to throw in some pasta! With the cap off, it could be heard from 25 ft away! CV4 was trackside so I bought the thermal blanket from them to put on when I got home. Then the next morning at Brushy the manager for the US Husaberg team, Bart Hayes, arrived and I talked to him about it. He pointed out that I needed to , especially seeing I was running another check valve in the end of the vent hose , that I needed to get rid of the ball in the cap. He has also found that ceramic coating the mid pipe makes the temp drop in half from roughly 800 degrees to 400 degrees. He wasn't a big fan of the blanket. So tonight I did the blanket (seeing I already bought it) and removed the check valve from the gas cap. This weekend coming I have the two day Shane Watts school in WV so I'll see if it did the trick. If not I'll get the midpipe coated.
