gas cap pressure

When i take the gas cap off every 2 days when i fill up, i hear alot of gas tank pressure wanting to come put the cap, so it takes about 15sec to take the cap off so i dont get any spray. is this normal or does something needs done. This is on a 1983 302 25 gallon tank, with not the factory 33 gallon tank. Thanks

Hmm, is the breather hooked up? It could be clogged.

I would check the vent tube to see if it is kinked or blocked or hooked up incorrectly.

How about when your filling the tank.....can you let the gas pump run at full speed, or do you have to stand there and let the fuel go into the tank "easy" like....????

Well I think I would still take a good look at the routing of the fill hose and the vent hose.....I think in most cases the vent hose lives inside the filler hose???? I am sure you can fins a diagram of the hose routing in a Haynes manual or service CD????
