CVO FXSBSE - 2013  > Filled tank right before parking bike at work, hours later when leaving, ... bike stumbled a little at parking lot speed  but a few quick revs and felt fine again.   Then stumbled and died about 2 miles into commute in stop and go traffic.    First thing I did when pulled over out of traffic was open gas cap.  Gas GUSHED out.   Closed cap and slowly opened a little at a time, overflow continued slower and did this several times until pressure stopped.   Dumped probably almost a quart or maybe cup full.   After 10 min or so, I started bike and checked it again.  Pressure was back immediately but bike stayed running so I rode it home (12 miles or so with highway driving)   Got on it in the last quarter mile and ran normally.   Checked again when I got home no tank pressure, or at least not enough to overflow.    It has stumbled a little before but vary rarely and always felt like a fuel thing.   Is this maybe a common check valve needs rebuilt thing or maybe the fuel valve equivalent part on injected motors?

When the tank is low on fuel, check in the tank while running. If gas is spraying inside the tank you may have a cracked internal hose. Change your fuel filter if you have to pull the guts to repair the leak.
