Pressure escaping through gas cap!!!HELP
Pressure escaping through gas cap!!!HELP
Well I was having a problem with the car building too much pressure in the gas tank, and a awful fuel smell in the interior. I Pulled the charcoal canister off today, and after shaking it, you can hear all the charcoal. Upon turning it upside down, a lot of charcoal came out. I replaced the charcoal canister, and the gas cap (non vented). After a small drive tonight, I got home turned the car off, and I could hear a "hissing" coming from the gas cap. I removed the cap, and almost gone blown away from the amount of pressure in the tank. What can this be, and how can I solve it? Gas tank vent clogged? Vented gas cap? Part number? Thanks a lot guys!

also, when I removed the EVAP charcoal canister, the "Air inlet" tube( middle of the tank tube, and purge tube), it was not connected on the other end, could this be the culprit?
