Fuel Tank
« on: August 22, 2011, 07:19:37 pm »
Parked up tonight and i could hear a bubbling noise, got out of the car and it was coming from the fuel filler area.
Open up the fuel filler flap, release the filler cap and there was a big hissing sound and the sound of the tank expanding.
Anybody has this issue before? anybody have a picture of the tank breather circuit.

I have had the hissing of relieved pressure when opening, shouldnt there be a breather on the cap or top of the tank?
