Default Hidden passenger could bee the problem

Take a look into my fuel filter. This is the Buzy Bee gas saving device. Insert this and use NO gas on cold days!

I found this little gas sniffer in my fuel filter!!! All I can guess is that when I was working in the bike, a bee moved into my fuel line. I found the fuel line stuffed with leaves a YEAR or so ago. I thought it was kids, but maybe this guy was trying to end it all in a happy gassy blur. not sure

Pay no attention to the failed match rocket to the right of the filter.

That's funny, motley... I should probably put an inline filter on asap.

I bought a used riding lawnmower for cheap a few years ago, and when I pulled the filter out it had a huge tuft of grass sticking out of it, and you could see two ants on the filter itself. Never got a whole bee, though...

I looks like that bee was trying to sugar your tank.

I did hear a story from a guy who's fuel gauge stopped working on his truck. The mechanic told him that the entire tank was full of rocks. When the guy got home he asked his 4 yr old son if he was helping daddy with the fuel tank and his son said yes and ran over to the truck. Before the guy could stop him, he dropped a rock into the tank.

Can't figure out why the fuel economy is so good but the tank goes so fast.
Ha ha

I think he moved in there a year ago when I had my tank off. It wouldn't it was full of leaves I thought it was kids but maybe it was a nest. Or kids trapping a bee in hole with leaves. It was a LOT of leaves though. I got leaves out a year ago, but didn't see the bee. Took a second to see this time.

The gas was green when I took it apart, I thought it was antifreeze!!! Took hose off the other end and leaves.

Maybe corn in gas turned to corn syrup.
