Gas tank blowed up !

I don’t think Honda ever built a 49 state non-California model. All ST1300s were CARB compliant.

Skimming over the fiche for a friend's '06 ST1300A (European Direct Sales), I cannot locate a charcoal canister...

A fuel tank needs a vent and a drain.... two hoses. Sometimes a drain hole beside the filler opening, and a pressure relief valve in the cap, or internally, a metal tube inside the tank ending up high above in the airspace at the top of the tank. Vent is likely similar.

It's like that on my CBF1000, no cannister. If I overfill even slightly, fuel will drain when on the sidestand or when the sun heats up the fuel.....

With cannister, if it gets saturated, may not run quite right until the fuel vapours get consumed.... I personally would get rid of the cannister and vent/drain directly to atmosphere as bikes without cannisters do.... unless I was in California.

When I built mine, I only used two hoses on the tank... fuel feed and return. The other nipples were left alone. No canister, no gas smell, no problems. :)

On that 2006 parts fitch, there’s no separate 49 state model listed anywhere. All US ST1300s were 50 state compliant. My original comment was regarding US bikes and is accurate.

I do recall however, Honda bragging about the bike being compliant with the toughest emissions requirements in the world when it was originally introduced. That way it simplified their manufacturing process having only one emissions version to worry about. At the time I think California still had the strictest emissions standards.

If the bike has vapor canister it will be located on the right side under the main faring above the foot peg.
