Explain Gas Tank Pressurization To Me...?

OOOOOOOOOOHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I cant help it.





Its what happens right before I let one go.



I am sorry I could not help it.

The fuel vapors are released into the carbon canister by the pressure built up in the tank from fuel & vapors, then the pcm closes the tank pressure solenoid and then opens the canister purge valve and pulls the vapors into the intake along with outside air thought the canister, but thier is never a vacuum on the tank, only pressure, I'm not sure if you would have enough venting, some of the 5/8 hoses have a roll over valve in side & just to vent while filling tank, check the hose real good..

Nope, the tank is subject to vacuum not pressure.

You need to vent the cap if all the EVAP has been killed.

I ran a 3/8 line off of the sending unit up to where the gas filler is and used a rear end breather on it...no problems here

Hmmmm...another good idea. Do they sell rear end breathers at the local auto parts store, or...? Thanks

LS1GMCTRuck, my fuel setup is just like yours with no issues here. I plugged at the canister, removed the evap solenoid and deleted out of the pcm. Your should be fine but a vented cap wouldn't hurt.
