Alright so today I made a really funny mistake (to me at least!) I was draining the gas out of my suzuki quadrunner so I took the petcock off and set a gas can under the stream of gas. I knocked the petcock and the reserve tube fell off and went right into the 2 gallon gas can. I thought "no biggy, I will jsut get it out after I am done" Later that day I put the cap on the gas can because I was cleaning up. So today (three days later) I go to fill up my traxter, I pick THAT GAS CAN! I didn't even realize! So now, at 2 in the morning, I realize that I have a reserve tube in my five gallon or so tank. I even took a half hour ride today. How in the heck am I supposed to get that out! hahaha sometimes I wonder how I could be so dumb! :D
 
The tube that fell into the can is what allows you fuel for reserve.

Without it it run just fine but will use all of the fuel in the tank regardless to where the lever is.

Without the tube you will have no reserve!
