non vented gas tank
after almost 2 years i finally got my 70 body-off back on the road. it runs GREAT 
. i needed some gas, and when i removed the gas cap, some pressure was released. i've got the standard fuel and return line, and i know what non-vented means, but how much of a puff do you guys get?

I advise you to change to vented cap because I had bad experience with my old cap.
The old cap was vented but the vent hole was block and I also heard the pressure noise when I open the cap, after a year I found out that the gas tank was shrink (because I had incorrect fuel reading), So I bought new gas tank + new vented cap.
