[QUOTE="CarlF, post: 87991, member: 1159"] leave the vent open a little bit. If you dont, the opposite will happen on a hot day: it will puff up like a balloon! I accidently left the vent on mine closed last summer. Over the course of the day, the temp climbed to about 95, the tank pressurized and forced about 2 gallons of gas into the carb, through the cylindars & out the exhaust. What a mess!!! When my boat is parked, I cover the cap with a plastic bowl to keep rain from getting in through the vent. To stop condensation, keep the tank filled up. [/QUOTE]
