Re: Gas tank pressure question



" From: Marty Bricker <mbrickerusn@xxxxxxxxx>
" 
" My 83 Eagle seems to build up a lot of pressure in the
" gas tank (I filled up on Mon morning and in the
" evening, after driving about 40 mi I checked the
" pressue and it was so high it actually blew some gas
" out!).  In contrast, my daughters 83 Spirit never has
" any pressure when I remove the cap. Part of the
" emission checks here in Plano, TX include checking the
" gas cap and they both passed.  Is this normal, good,
" bad, requires checking something?  Thanks.

sounds like your vapor recovery canister may be hydrolocked - plugged
with liquid gasoline.

ps. my brother lived in the colony, about 20 years ago.
