Ha. Yea. So this year I changed up my routine and decided no drinking, period. So it was bizarre when I woke up wide awake at 4:30am on Friday morning, and then on Saturday morning I had a splitting headache until lunch time. I was like, damn I didn’t even drink a drop of booze, and this is what I get!! Oh well.
So regarding the vented gas tank. I’ve looked into this a little bit over the years and occasionally I’ve had hot fuel vapor come out of the tank after a really long drives. But it was never ever in the 20 years that I’ve owned this car to the point where the pump stopped working. I do not have a vented gas cap but I do have a working check ball breather under the car. In fact I have one on the car and one on my part shelf in both of them I have disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled. I’ve always thought that the vented gas cap was to let air in so the gas tank didn’t suck itself in. I thought the evap canister was for pressure. However neither was to help with heat and fuel boiling, correct? I mean if a simple vented gas cap would alleviate future issues, I’ll certainly do that. However this is the same gas cap that has been on the car since way prior to me owning it, and I e had it for 20.5 years now.
