Fuel puking out overflow line

What hadn't occurred to me is that fuel in suspension could be condensed and collected. I now wonder how much fuel would be produced by any of the bikes I have. I always presumed there would just be pressure and a bit of oil; I never considered that fuel could be returned to a liquid state like that. This is fascinating to me.

I think your presumptions are still correct, Weld. I don't believe it is normal for liquid fuel to be collected from the oil separator. I just made a telephone call to CSC, but Gerry, the maintenance supervisor, is not a work today.

I need to sand the inside of the down tube to positively confirm I am not also collecting combustible fuel.
