    I've had a reoccuring fuel leak in a place where it got puntured since January, today I noticed fuel bubbling out of where I patched it agian, but the fuel level was below where I had tried to patch it. It was about 100 degrees so I'm thinking the vent may be clogged and pressure is building up in the tank and eventually push past the JB weld, fiberglass and bondo I've tried to patch it with. Is the tank vented or is it a vented gas cap? How do I clean it?

    The pressure relief is built into the gas cap. Some of them can be taken apart and cleaned.

    careful. there are some TINY bb's in there that should not get lost. look at a diagram first if ya can. If not just be real careful at every step with a clean white towel laid out so they won't bounce away when they come out.
