IGOTTA71 Feb 27th, 00, 7:13 AM I had the same problem, so I went to my parts store and bought a nonvented cap. I vented it w/ a small drill bit. It was a big mistake, because now whenever I get on it or am stopped on a hill, gas leakes out. It is ruining my new license plate and my new sticker. Try to find oune that's vented. | ||
