I had not considered the possibility of a plugged vent in the cap. Its
possible but I don't think so in this case. The cap does not seal all that
good. When the tank is full of gas I have noticed fuel leaking out of it
when operating on rough ground or side hills. Presumably this would also
allow plenty of venting in the tank.
Its snowing and a cold SE wind blowing here today and I am have not got back
to try any of these ideas but am keeping them all on file to try out if my
own ideas do not work out.
