Re: Imploded Fuel Tank
Ok the purge line to the charcoal canister is probably clogged...combined with fueling on a hot low pressure day and/or higher altitude then going to a lower elevation and cooler night temps? It's like taking an empty plastic bottle to a lower elevation...
I'm going to guess the tank wasn't very full of gas too (?)
on a side note gasoline expands and contracts in volume quite a bit with temperature- that's why they say to never top off (when cold out). go somewhere hot and the fuels expands. You never actually fill your tank- there's always a pretty decent air gap for the volume expansion. That said none of this sucked the tank in- that was a pressure difference of air that caused that.
