<VV> Gas caps

[Daniel Monasterio]

Have had the same issue on a car and a Rampside too. I think those caps have an air valve to allow air flow into the tank but, not fluids (fuel in this case) coming out.If so, the valve (might be a ball) is stuck or the rubber gasket on the cap is worn.It can`t leak in left cornering as fuel is pushed to the right side of the tank by it's own inertia.

> Since we are on the subject - I've never had a Corvair (car) gas cap that didn't leak.  New, old, locking, non-locking and lots of them but they all leak when the tank is full.  Is there some special cap I should buy?  I don't recall if I've ever purchased a new cap from a real Corvair vendor so it's possible all my 'vairs have the wrong caps.
