Water collecting under petrol csp

[mpgscott]

When I opened the petrol cap there was a collection of water around edge of petrol filler neck.

So after googling it’s the drain bein clogged, so got my air inflation compressor and used the little football cone adapter, into the drain pipe and blocked off the tank so no crap would fall in. Gave it a blast and out popped some crud. Seems to be draining now, so incase someone else sees the same issue.

On the tinternet it was stating the pipe is on right down by brake, well mine was on the left by the gear selector.

Hopefully the little water that entered the tank initially won’t do any harm.

A length of strimmer line gently eased down the pipe can also be effective at clearing the drain.

Had this on one of my bikes after riding through a ford slewing silt everywhere, I managed to clear it but it just kept clogging again so changed the pipe.
