First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I have a vented cap on mine...if you have a vented cap it will read on the cap "vented cap"...reason to use one would be for instance if you have an after market gas tank ,which was on my car when I got it...it was a 350 car 2 bbl from the factory , no idea which cap should have been on it or if it once had a vent like Gorans car...but I noticed a huge "pooof" as I opened mine esp in summer...
eventually I started filling the car up before I parked it in the garage, and in summer I started smelling gas...its 100Fplus in that garage in summer....gas expands and with that non vented cap it blew the gasket at the sending unit.... I bought a "vented cap" and have not had problems since...I can still get some light "pooof" as I open sometimes...but I will once in awhile check my cap to see if its open or plugged... you can check it by (first clean off the surface, b/c gas doesn't taste very good!) blowing/sucking on the tiny hole in the center of the gap on the gas side.....it will open/close , you can hear it and 'feel' it...
