Fuel cap
 
Heya,

Just a quick question on fuel caps. On all my other vehicles previous, all fuel

caps were vented. Meaning that they let any and all pressure vent to the

atmosphere through the cap itself.

On my Supra, the cap is a solid non-vented type and makes a loud "pshhh"

sound of pressure releasing when I take it off to fill up.

Is this bad news bear?! Or is that the way it's supposed to be on this

vehicle?

Thanks all,

-=Littlestan=-

yep all normal for the supra

i believe that's why we have charcoal cannisters whereas other vehicles don't i think

don't quote me on the last bit tho lol
