here lately when using my super 55 the gas tank is getting so hot from the muffler which is in the horzintal postion. that it is heating the gas and mayber boiling it creating pressure in the tank because when i shut it down you can here it cooking and when i lossen the cap you can here the pressure escape. this just started doing this. temp gauge is ok and no overheating in the rad. what options do i have to correct this problem i dont think this is a safe thing.

As Jake4 said, there should be a metal heatshield between the muffler and the tank. Also the cap should be the vented type so that pressure (or vacuum) can't build up in the tank.

There should be a sheet metal panel bolted to the manifold to prevent this from happening.
