Well, Happy 4th of July guys !!!!

so in-between chores today I disconnected the "vent" tube from the gas tank and blew it out with about 80lbs of compressed air.

And the result was as I figured, nothing came out other than 80lbs of air pressure. I also inspected the vent tube as it's not s simple as you would think, it goes up from the tank to the top edge of the trunk, then travels all the way under the inside of the right her fender. Then it makes a crazy hairpin turn back towards the rear of the vehicle and down right behind the bumper.

All in all, the tube is a factory part, not kinked, not bent, not rusted and certainly not obstructed by any means.

another observation I made today is that even though it was only about 85 degrees today it was no where near as hot as it had been the last few days. Anyhow, I pulled the car in reverse up the driveway instead of down the driveway in hopes of seeing if it would leak today after I blew out the tube. we got up to 91 today and nothing happened today, no excessive pressure and no leak out of the vent tube.........

any other suggestions ?
