Boiling Gas-05 Rubicon
Rode about 5 miles yesterday in the bottoms (woods-shade) temp about 95 degrees. Every time I stopped I could hear a noise coming from my gas cap vent tube, open the gas cap and there were bubbles as if the gas was boiling. Fan worked throughout the ride but didn't come on every time I heard this noise. A friend had this problem with a Yamaha but I've never experienced it with my Hondas. Radiator clean, fluid levels good. Ideas?

Hot motor plus vibration will cause gas to give off vapors.
Generally they will make a bubbling noise when gas condenses in the vent tube, and vapors end up perculating up through the condensed liquid.
If you were to measure the temp of the fuel in the tank, you would find it's not all that hot.
Anyway, don't worry about it, and enjoy the ride.
