Pro sport gas tank question?

[Dynalolife]

Does this bike have a double sided tank, I have one gas cap I can remove but it doesn’t appear I can remove the left side gas cap the chrome cap came off the rubber but it looks as if it can be removed and is seized in the tank. I can’t find confirmation of this anywhere and I do want to mangle anything up trying to remove the cap.

The left side is opposite thread...turn it to the right and it will come loose

Post a pic of the caps. I expect it is the old style caps.

Is there a crossover hose between the tanks in the front. If so you really only need one cap working.

While this is true, Ideally you would remove both caps and fill the left tank first. Cap it. Then top off the right tank. If you are filling the left tank with the crossover it’s going to take a minute & how do you know when it’s full. The right tank will top off quicker than the left tank will take fuel through the 3/8” line. Keep working on the cap. It will eventually come out. Ask me how I know…

Don’t have a better picture on my phone rn, I will say I ran the bike bone dry and got lucky yesterday. Held the clutch in and had enough to roll in to a gas station. That being said it took 2.5gal to fill it i had a smoke came back and couldn’t fit any more fuel inside the bike.

Yup, its gotta come off. A pair of channel lock pliers may get it done. Lots n lots of tape around the painted surfaces first...maybe a chisel n deadblow hammer? You gonna have to get creative I believe?

Sounds like the cross over hose needs replaced also.

Don't know if this makes any sense, but if the left cap is not vented, what are the odds that any air in that tank has enough pressure to keep the gas from the right tank making it through the cross over pipe to the left tank? Mick, it sounds like you need to make a ride across town to Henry's (Dynalolife) place and get him fixed up. Just another good way to meet a new member and make a new friend !

Yeah I asked about where he lived in town. No reply. So…. That’s that.

As it turns out I just seen this bike for sale on Facebook marketplace this morning for $5500. So I’m thinking he’s just flipping the bike. No need to get involved any further near as I can tell.

Eh I’m already in over my head on this bike figured it’s time to get out while I can, it’s a cool bike but it’s just snowballing on me. The one side of the tank I can see is rusted and carbs gummed up again…… so it’s cleaning her up and hoping I’m not gonna take a loss on this and can break even.
