2012 fuel tank drain hole issues.

Carter · Jun 22, 2016

Only had it a week (hi by the way lol) cleaned it two days ago, filled it up today and as I opened the cap I watched the water pour in.... grrr!
Lifted the tank and pulled the rubber hoses off, nice and clear. Squirted wd40 down the hole under the filler and it goes no where. Tried an air line and wire (though not as easy as that due to the shape of the pipe as it goes through the tank).
I can't for the life of me clear it and god only knows what's in there though plenty of craps came out already. Any tips?

My Tiger has a ally fitting in the tank for the drain and overflow, typically the ally fitting furs up with water ingress, sounds like that on your speedy. Try lifting the tank and seeing where the drain hose is then remove it and poke something up the hole it may even require a small drill bit up it....ooer

No such luck... it is literally just a tube going through the tank. No fixings on the end. The block seems to be after a 90° internal bend so can't get anything strong enough down there to push it through. Tried going up over but there's another bend before you get to it!... lovely design.
