When opening my fuel filler-cap, I get a major SWOOSH of air going in. Am I correct in assuming that this swoosh is NOT desirable (and indicative of some blockage in the canisters/lines/restrictors/v

According to Ree Gurley: Mine does too. But I think it is more because Federal Smog specs require it rather than any blockage. I haven't realy looked at that part of my 79 Spit (if it ain't broke, do

** Yes on both accounts. Something is blocking the "vent" and if not corrected, you stand a very good chance of permanently collapsing the tank - Barry Schwartz (San Diego) bschwart@pacbell.net 72 P

If you check, I think you will find a vent tube on the right of the suction pipe. This tube points to the right side of the car and is routed to the charcoal canister. If your line or canister is plu

According to Barry Schwartz: I don't know, I've run mine all the way down to empty without it ever even flexing the sides of the tank inward and mine goes SWOOSH everytime I open it at the pumps. I t

You are most likely correct. I had this same problem a few years ago and the "problem" collapsed my gas tank ($75 to get it "reinflated"!). The RPM of the engine will also slowly increase as the vac

You should NOT have a substantial vacuum build up in the tank. This vacuum will fight the efforts of the fuel pump and lean out the mixture thus increasing the RPM, and if it continues over a long pe

Yes! Barry is correct. I know from personal experience. However in my case the tank, which had collapsed down to about a 4 gallon capacity, was "saved" by a radiator/gas tank shop for about $75. BTW

According to Simmons, Reid W: I think the problem here is a matter of how much. Which none of us can actually express in Email. :-) I don't notice any effect like that and as I say I have run the tan

Thanks for your insight. I will in fact be checking the vapor separator & rear restrictor (I'm methodically going from front to rear). My plastic canisters have a plastic "lid" on the bottom (like a
