Hi there,
I notice a noise come from under the fuel tank what sound like a gas leak during hot days.

I open the refill cap and lot of gas rush out.

And the gas leak noise stop.

I suspect the fuel got really hot and pressure build up.

Is this gas leak noise normal?

But I can gear gas leaking noise under the fuel tank before I release the tank pressure at the filler cap

check the purge line is connected to the top of the throttle body and not blocked and check the actuator vacuum from the back of the I/M is connected
