[Shotimes] Fuel Tank concern

[Bruce Malachuk]

I would have thought it was normal if I had heard it before, but this was
the first time in any Taurus or Salbe that I have owned that I have heard
that much pressure build up in the the tank. Granted it prolly helps with my
failed fuel check valve, but I'd rather replace the pump to fix that
problem. Tied in with that pressure build up in the tank, one also notices a
gas smell in the car, opening the cap and then closing it back up takes car
of the pressure buildup, and then also the smell as well.

If it's normal then that fine, just that this was the first time I've ever
had that kind of pressure building up.
