Re: Pressurized Petrol Tank

Hi Geoff,

 

Yes the cap is vented with a hole in each component of the cap.  See my tech tip for each internal part and note picture #5, 7, &8 allows air to pass but not slosh out of the tank.

All of these parts are available if needed.  Regards,

Good evening MGers Rather odd experience yesterday - out in the sun yesterday afternoon in Suffolk's Indian Summer working on the TC petrol started to poor from the petrol pump outlet - currently the Carbs are disconnected - I flipped the petrol tank cap and with a rush of air pressure was released. Should the internals of the tank cap have some sort of vent hole? Mine doesn't nor had an old one from a previous TC I looked at. Am I missing something? Regards Geoff TC 6996 Sunny and warm Suffolk
