Positive fuel tank pressure??

[James Bell]

Tyson:

One or two PSI is required for The Vapor control
system to work. Sounds like your vapor canister
and vacuum piping is not hooked up correctly.
Or something it is dirty or plugged up with petroleum
detritus. The unused fuel is recirculated back to the
tank by the CIS-E system your car has. There are also
vent lines and a gravity valve, in and about the tank, that
could be deranged. Get a Bentley manual and start digging.
