Default

the tank should vent through the evap charcoal canister. if pressure gets too high the cap is designed to release this pressure. Working properly, all the venting should be through the canister. the purge side should not effect this. check to see if the vent line from the tank to the cannister is clear. if ok, check that the canister is not clogged.
