this is an interesting thread as now you mention it i get that when i open my fuel cap..i replaced the original fuel cap with a lockable type for added safety on my trips to africa. although ive noticed no ill effects was this a mistake??
ive started getting a slight uneveness at slow revs which disappear as i drive through..ive been thinking fuel starvation perhaps i should change the fuel cap back! any thoughts??
do you think these walbro pumps are a good investment??
Im off to europe for a couple of months and then when i return ill start getting ready for patagonia to alaska so even i will have to start thinking mechanical things!!!
