for those of you who read the above mentioned thread re:gas caps and tank vents....this is the retraction of that info...
the gas cap i recommended holds so much pressure now that it distorts the tank and the filler neck actually moves down at the end as a result of the tank distorting...
this is the same problem that jk aka
chev-hell reported...
i just noticed this today..the weather was warmer today so i guess this made the distortion problem show up that i didnt have experience when that thread was posted..
my parts guy told me that vented caps meant they let air in and pressure (over a threshold) out...not so apparently!!!!
so back to the drawing board!!!
my system has no vent so i dont know what to do to resolve the problem of pressure buildup in the fuel system???
getting frustrated with this one guys!!!!
