Default Got Gas Pains
Just wondering if you folks with a 2005 + Sportage V6 ever noticed if you gas tank is pressurized ? Noted when you fill up when releasing the gas cap.

Just the opposite -- it's DE-pressurized... i.e., a slight vacuum is maintained to prevent fumes from escaping into AlGore's world.

Just make sure your gas cap it tightened correctly (three clicks, I believe) -- you'll be happy and AlGore won't be chasing you to buy some of his bogus "carbon credits".

fyi: also do not "top off" the tank when you fuel up... you can screw things up
