General Discussion / Gasoline: How hot is too hot?
June 29, 2025, 12:46:01 PM
The fuel in my cforce 1000 overland gets HOT during a good long ride, like hot enough to really pressurize the tank.  The rear of the atv is hot enough to make the glove box below the rear rack uncomfortably hot to a hand rested on the floor of the box. 
Is this a problem or is there no reason for concern?  The tank sees enough pressure to leak out the gas cap.  Relieving the pressure and reinstalling the cap will still build up enough pressure to bleed out.  I'm worried about the tank's ability to live a long life here and it'd really suck to have a blown fuel cell 10 miles back.
Thoughts?

Hi!  Looking forward to being a part of the forum and hopefully not due to issues with my new ride: A 2024 CForce 1000 Overland I purchased as new old stock last week from a local dealer.  It has easily 25 hours on it, and had as many miles - it sat on the dealer's lawn and was probably started a million times over the past year.  Time for an oil change.
Meanwhile, does anyone know what the black square with the right angle that looks like an L below the CFMOTO on the upper left of the display means?  I promise I've read the owner's manual cover to cover and there's no mention of it.  I'm wondering if it is a "maintenance needed" indicator, and I've got the service manual on its way to me - should be here this week.
