My tank has been building up a large amount of pressure. Is this normal on a stock '74 2.0 w/ Djet? After a hundred miles of driving, if I remove the fuel cap it lets out a lot of air. I may be tripping, but I just don't recall this happening with my other Djet car.
We're about 600 miles from home and I've been having off and on problems with vapor lock on this trip. Hard starts have been a real issue, but I've found that releasing the pressure in the tank seems to help remedy the situation. Thoughts? |
