[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 395727, member: 3278"] The newest tanks will only vent under vacuum, as in when the gas is being drawn from them. The older metal tanks either had a knurled knob on the fill cap or they had vents that opened via a small pin that is pressed in when the fitting is clipped onto the tank. I like the older metal tanks as they do not end up looking like a football when the pressure builds in them. Just my preference. RiverBottomOutdoors - No, it is not a thermostat issue. There is a by-pass system on that engine plus when an OMC thermostat fails it is designed to fail in the open position. [/QUOTE]
