Subject:      Pressurize a gas tank?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

I think my charcoal canister put a vacuum on my tank and the bottom
is sucked in a bit, when I need 13 gal the van starts running like
it's almost out of gas. Anyone ever pressurized a tank to push the
dent out before?
I have never put more than 13 gallons in it. I either need to get the
tank bottom back to the straps or get a new tank, extra gas is good.
