Vacuum in Fuel Tank

Geri and Jim Member Newmar Owners Club Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 41	Hi everyone, While traveling in WY on I 80, I began to get some surging going up long grades. When I pulled in for fuel I found a very strong vacuum when I removed the cap. After filling up the surging problem was gone. Since then I have been checking but have only found a slight vacuum sometimes. Is there a vent on the fuel tank beside the caps? Thanks Jim (now in Seattle) __________________ Jim NKK 14086 2003 3852 DSDP 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

If this just started you may have a mud dubber stopping it up. check for a rubber tube on top of the tank. __________________ Bill & Nancy 2010 Eagle 45B 650HP "May You Live EveryDay of Your Life"
