T3: RE: Rear Wheel Problem

["Erkson, Toby" <toby.erkson@intel.com>]

I had this problem with my tank as well.  I drilled a very, very small
hole in
the [non-stock] gas cap.  The real problem, for me, is I need to fix my
gas tank
breather system.  I would say your problem is that your tank doesn't
have it's
system set up.

...Oh yeah.....also......someone before me put in a Type1 gas tank.  If
I
drive at highway speed for lets say.....2hours....it stalls because of a
vacuum in the tank.  I thought I ran out of gas.....but it turned out I
needed to take off the gas cap and release the pressure.  Any
suggestions on getting rid of that problem too?

Oh yeah....its a 1972 Fastback 4speed 1600 with dual Webber 34's and a
009.
