Popping, hissing scary fuel tank!!!
Discussion
Hi all
Upon opening my fuel tank today after the car had got particularly hot in a traffic jam the tank vented about 2 litres of fuel in vapour at me and popped back into shape. Not particualrly a problem or I guess dangerous unless you are smoking at the time but certainly disconcerting and a touch scary for the other people at the other pumps!
Is this common or is this a blocked vent / filter or something? All ideas or insight appreciated.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info.
My Chim used to be a bit gassy when you opened the fuel tank but this was something else. The fuel tank popped and creaked loudly enough for people to look over at the car and the tank was venting vapour for 30 seconds or so!
It has been a bit of a rough start to my relationship with my Tam, hopefully things will get better!!!
