Re: [T3] gas cap / gas tank venting

Okay, this makes sense. My breather hose is a cobble job from '97 or so, long before I
learned of the list. I haven't bothered changing it out because it is intact and keeps gas
in and water out..  It is crimped though, I guess that crimp is more severe than I thought.

So the breather will help with the fill ups, and the vent will keep the tank at
atmospheric pressure?

Thanks, I'll look into this.
