Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE SPYDER STARTED PRODUCING EXCESS HEAT FROM UNDER THE MACHINE AND AROUND THE GAS TANK. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK AS IT HAD ABOUT AN 1/8 OF A TANK. THE GAS CAP WAS SO HOT IT COULDN'T BE TOUCHED FOR TEN MINUTES. YOU COULD HEAR THE GAS BOILING IN THE TANK. UPON GETTING THE CAP OFF, IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO PUMP GAS INTO THE TANK AS THE NOZZLE KEPT SHUTTING OFF. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS 83 DEGREES. IT WAS GIVING OFF A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL. I RETURNED TO MY DEALER AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT BRP. THE DEALER HAS WRAPPED THE HEADER PIPES AND REPLACED THE EVAPORATOR CANISTER AND PURGE VALVE MANY TIMES. AT THIS TIME MY SPYDER HAS 22500 MILES AND THE GAS CAP CAN'T BE TIGHTENED COMPLETELY BECAUSE IT WON'T UNSCREW IF THE SPYDER IS WARM. I AM STILL HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS WITH MY SPYDER AND BRP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. *TR
