Fuel cap and tank venting
Here is the deal on "venting." ALL vapor system cars use what is commonly known as a "pressure vacuum" cap, which means it has RELIEFS in there to vent over-pressure, either pressure or vacuum. NO Mopar cap in the cars we talk about here uses a vented cap. Up until vapor control systems, they are vented through a tube connected to the filler pipe in the trunk. All the vapor controlled cars have a 1/4" vent line coming up front which ties in with the carbon can system. THIS IS your tank vent and must not be removed, plugged, etc
Caps are a PITA for these cars, as there are several, and they changed year by hear. Oldmanmopar or someone had a great illustration of the caps over the years..........
..........and here we go.......
