2013 Can-AM Spyder ST Fuel system Problems

“Repeated problems with odor of fuel and intermittent stalling. Evap canister was replaced twice (fuel in canister) and purge valve once. Appears to affect running as it misses and surges at a constant speed (very subtle). Since I park this in my attached garage it is a concern. Vehicle has been in shop 5 times for a total of 2 1/2 months during my 6 months of ownership. Brp has now told me that they will no longer repair this vehicle which now has only 2600 miles.”

“After riding vehicle & parking it , I could smell strong fuel fumes from vehicle. I also noticed that the body panels becomes very hot . I also noticed that the fuel in the tank has bubbles / boiling. During engine operation; the vehicle sends extremely hot air out of the space between the forward edges of the seat and upper and side body panels, the upper side panels are very hot to touch, and the underseat area accumulates an excessive amount of hot air allowing the fuel cap found under the seat to become hot to the touch. …”

“When stopped to get fuel. The gas cap is almost too hot to touch. Take cap off and gas spews out at you. So I started releasing cap slightly and then take cap off. Gas would spit back at you as you were trying to fill tank. Happens frequently.”

“Fuel in tank boils after riding. Fuel vapors escape from the charcoal canister. Sometimes there is so much fuel vapor that it condenses and forms a puddle. I have contacted brp about the issue but have not heard back.”

“When stopping at stop signs, traffic lights or just stopping to park there is an excessive gas smell coming from the vehicles evap canister. This all started when the outside temperatures exceeded 70 degrees. This smell occurs if the fuel tank is full, half full or nearly empty. On sunday 4/13/14 when coming home from a long ride I decided to check over some things and discovered the gasoline in the fuel tank was boiling! The exaust pipe on this machine runs very close to the fuel tank.”
