No, it is not.  You are not supposed to take the cap off to fill with gas
and hear a big WOOMP of air going in and the metal of the tank popping back
to size.  Or park your van in the driveway and about 5 minutes later hear
the tank expand back to shape.


Something is amiss, and i know it must be with the emissions control stuff
but can't figure where to start......
