fuel tank pressure

is it normal for my tank to have alot of pressure/vacuum in it after driving? may seem a bit noob, but i can't recall my other vehicles doing this. you can actually hear it escaping for the filler cap. is there an issue with EVAP or something?

Mine always has. Guess I haven't pursued any remedy.

Re: fuel tank pressure

Yes and no. I would be worried if it didn't hiss! Read the warning on the gas cap.

Re: fuel tank pressure

it is supposed to build pressure that is part of the "emmission" systems doesnt allow evap gas from reaching the atmosphere... yeah right

Re: fuel tank pressure

i guess this is normal then. its got a locking cap, which can't be helping the issue. i was thinking about why my Blazer doesn't do this...it doesn't have a purge valve on the EVAP canister. the pressure just bleeds into the motor. it just didn't seem right when i can smell fuel vapors.
