Re: New Gas Tank Issue

On the gas tank "flap", The notch was put in by our vendor so the tank would function with vented/non-vented caps. If a gas smell would come from the notch then it would come from a vented cap. If a tank is vented or not vented and you fill it in warm weather to the very top, it will expand and it has to go somewhere.

Either it will go out the vent or will push past the cap gasket which has always been a hard material. New cars have a sealed system/sealed cap and are designed not to leak in this condition.

(In my opinion if a cars smells from gas there is a leak somewhere along the lines or in the pump or carburetor.......or maybe in the Treadlevac.)
