Drove my 50 to work today for the first time since June. (17 miles from home)
Had less than 1/4 tank of gas this morning so I added 3 gals of fresh gas on the way in to work. Added sty-bil to tank
Temp when I left work about 102.
On the way home made a stop after about 8 miles . Noticed a dribble of gas running from the fill neck. Thought it was strange because I had less than 1/2 a tank so I knew it was not over full and expanding. Pulled cap and heard a pressure release. wiped the area clean
Continued on my way home, got on the freeway and truck started bucking a few times. I pulled over and as I was coasting I could tell the truck shut down, still coasting to the side the engine fired back up. Slowly got her back up to speed 45-50 mph.
Made it back home OK , pulled into the garage and noticed more dribble of gas from the filler neck.
Is this a symptom of the gas cap not venting? any other ideas?
If the cap is not venting will it cause the truck to buck?
thank you
