Subject:      Pressure in Fuel Tank at fill up
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hello All,

I had some mods done on my tank.  No more grommets, all solid brass barbed fitttings and a flange installed at the filler tube part of the tank as well.  This has a fuel grade flex hose and hose clamps from the filler tube to the tank flange now.

So, now the fuel tank has pressure in it when I go to fill up on a warm day.  My guess is that this is normal when everything on the tank is sealing properly?
