i was thinking of drilling a hole in the capor base already cause im sick of my damn tank dent filling up with gas cause that **** starts to leak LITTEREALLY THERES A PUDDLE! ive looked over the cap and base soo much times and cant find the damn breather hole everyone speaks about this is the second cap i had that didnt have one first one was on my 636 and that didnt have a hole either THIS SUCKS!

worst comes to worst im selling and buying that other one people say to get

 

dude, there IS a small allen head screw IN the base of the cap, remove that small screw and your cap will breathe

 

mines is not there ill take a pic and show you

 

here man look its not there pretty bummed

 

damn, is it a true vortex cap? or a knock off?

 

its a true vortex i ordered it from HAI

 

wow i dunno then man, there's really no option if there's no way to vent the cap, other then quicksteel the outside, perm. affixing the lower base to the tank...thats what i had to do on my 636 to get to stop leaking..

 

just got my vortex cap today and its the same thing! sealed!

 

speaking of vortex gas caps does anyone know where I can get a replacement seal?

 

It really doesn't matter if there's a vent hole or not. The caps I've had w/ vent holes, I've had to JB weld the hole shut to PREVENT leaking. If your cap is leaking w/ NO vent hole, then the rubber seal isn't sealing/seating correctly. This happened to a friend of mine last weekend, and the problem was that the base wasn't mounted in the correct orientation. We unbolted it....realized it needed to be spun 90 degrees, and bam....perfect seal. The fill holes are'nt centered on some models and you gotta check em' out pretty close to determine the correct mounting position.
