[QUOTE="Jmar, post: 416314, member: 20812"] So my fuel tank leaks at the gasket when not in use after running and has some pressure in the tank, I just ordered a new gasket for it. My question is do I need to loosen the cap to relieve pressure every time I turn off the motor on the water? The tank is older, has no vent cap, and has the pins on the connector where from what I've read lets air in, but not out. I've forgotten a couple times now only to look back and notice fuel running down the tank. Even when I replace the gasket, that doesn't seem like that will fix the pressure issue. The fuel will just push up into the motor is what I'm thinking. I've searched all over for this and can't find a clear answer. Evinrude connectors. 1979 9.9hp. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
