Bajaj Pulsar 200 Fuel Tank Problem?

It is raining in Gurgaon. And when I went to get some gas for the Pulsar 200 bike I noticed that there was a lot of water inside the fuel cap around the tank.

Now, I am not sure if this is a good thing to happen or this is common with all Bajaj bikes with the funky looking fuel tank cap. But it certainly does not like good to me.

Certainly doesn't look good. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what would happen in speed-breakers when all that water would seep inside your fuel tank, mixing with the precious petrol...

Hi,

I told this on Day1. the fuel cap packing is not good. It aint good on any bajaj. Check out the quality of the cap on the new unicorns. Its sealed perfect with good air exchange. For pulsars, if you view the cap exactly from top, you could see the air exchange hole exposed even if the cap is closed. Now that what i call Build Quality. Hurray to bajaj... they maintain the same quality of thier autorickshaws.

"you could see the air exchange hole exposed even if the cap is closed" --- The air exchange hole is required to be exposed always, if you close that no fuel will come out of tank! Some basic science is what you need else drive rickshaw

Hey HAMMER HEAD. Or should i call you a scientist? what i wrote is that the air exchange hole is EXPOSED outside through which there are chances that dust, water etc enters inside. You will have air exchange holes to any fuel tanks, let it be a bike, car, a bus or a aeroplane to avoid vaccum building up inside the tanks which will prevent the fuel to flow to the carb or injectors, any further. i did not mention whether its required/not required. But the point is, it is EXPOSED straight up to the atmosphere even after the lid is closed on a pulsar.

SOME BASIC ENGLISH UNDERSTANDING IS WHAT "YOU NEED" ELSE STOP WRITING COMMENTS.

Dear Bug B,

for your information, there are basically no drain tubes for petrol tanks. The only tube is the one which delivers fuel to carburettor or fuel injector. Apart from this you will have breather/overflow tubes for your gear box, battery and carburettor. I hope this is clear.

Thanks n regards,

Menas Ahmed

There is a drain tube going to the bottom of the tank from the recess of the lid cap. As you said, the fuel tube is not the only tube....spent some time with your bike.
