Gas Tank QuestionBannon7414 07-06-2006, 08:59 AM When I take the cap off my tank it sounds like I'm opening a 2 liter of cola. Its a dry hissing sound, do you all have any idea why it happens? HLandin 07-07-2006, 06:27 PM Your supposed to have a hissing sound when you remove the gas cap. That means it is holding a vacuum like its supposed to. That vacuum is what keeps gasoline vapors in the tank, so if the tank leaks a little vapor, it will leak in not out; however, if the tank does not hold a good vacuum (leaks too much), then the vapors will leak out and that is NOT good. In short, hissing sound when removing gas cap, good vacuum in tank. GreyGoose006 07-07-2006, 08:39 PM hmmmmm... mine DOSEN'T hiss... is this a huge problem? Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2012
