[AT] Tractor hauler question.

[oldiron62 at gmail.com]

   Farmer,  check if you truck has more than one fuel line on it. Some have 
a carbon canister when new, but through there life get modified by PO.
Sounds like the vent has been mashed off or plugged. I would just vent the 
cap and see how that works for a farm truck ?
Lets hear how it turns out.
