[QUOTE="OhioFJR1300, post: 298461, member: 544"] Skoot, I do not know how the FJR tank is vented. But in order to do what I am doing on my Goldwing, you can not hve a vent in the main tank as that will not allow the main tank to go into the slight vacuum needed to transfer the fuel from the aux tank.
