Fuel line "T" and tap??

[loxsmith]

Picked up a new DL1000K7 last week and need to "T" the fuel line so I can drain some go gas every night for the Coleman Dual fuel stove.

Has anyone done this mod (with pics maybe) or can you forsee any headaches with it?

All input appreciated

The fuel line is pressurized to ~50 psi by the fuel pump in the gas tank for the injectors - it is still under pressure even with the bike turned off. If you did tap into it, it might not flow without running the pump - gravity might not be enough to get through the pump and regulator?

I'd consider a turkey baster, syringe, siphon hose, etc. to get the fuel through the filler cap rather than tapping into the plumbing.

I should have known this wouldn't be easy, the injection pressure did cross my mind but I thought there may have been a way before the pump and just gravity feed the fuel out.
I was hoping not to carry anything to syphon out fuel as packing space is already at a premium.
Thanks for the input guys. There maybe more idea's out there, I will wait and see!

Is anyone aware if the seals in a syringe are fuel friendly/resistant.

That would depend on the quality and intended purpose of the syringe. Would it not be easier to just carry extra gas in a separate container ??

The disposable syringes I've played with (monoject?) become progressively harder to pull the plunger out with gasoline (or fork oil) in them , and jam hard shortly after. I use them for bleeding brakes, and brake fluid doesn't seem to effect them - even over long periods.
