Any way for fix the breathing tube on a fuel tap? It appears to be installed with a glue/cement... If so, what do you recommand.. It must be able to withstand fuel/gas. I got a Fuel tap for largeframe, I requested one for the PX. Can I assume it will work?

JB Weld around the outside of the tube and reinsert. Make sure not to get any on the inside. Let sit overnight and re-install.

A little reminder to everyone: Don't jam the gas pump nozzle into your tank. Hold back the rubber bellow and lightly touch the side of the tank fill opening with the nozzle and fill slowly. Otherwise, you risk breaking off that breather tube making it impossible to shut off your bike's fuel flow.

I take issue with the fact this has to be mentioned at all.

Reminds me of the butch gal I saw at a rally. She was on a Sportster and riding in the rally (Scooter Rage about 4 years ago). At the gas station she makes a comment about my Lambretta holding more gas than her Harley. She then crams the entire effing nozzle into the tank until it hits the bottom/frame divide and manages to get about 3/4 gallon before the overfill cuts off fuel.

Friggen moron.

Don't put the nozzle in the air duct hole.

I've never crammed the fuel nozzle into anything but my car. Yet my sip fast flow fuel tap broke in the same way. A couple of bad quality fuel taps I've had before that have also failed like this.

I say this is because of bad build quality. You can clearly see that it has been glued in place. The breather tube hasn't broken off, it has just fallen off the tap itself.

Same thing just happened to me as ^. Damn breather tube fell out of the fast flow fuel tap.
