Message	I have a 1990 ZX-TT daily driver with 350,000 miles. I have done no recent fuel/mechanical changes. Today (hot day) when I parked my car I heard a whistling and when I carefully checked the fuel filler cap it did the normal "woosh" but stronger and more prolonged. When I completely removed the fuel cap the fuel was attomizing and being forced out of the filler neck (with the motor turned off and the key in my hand). I replaced the cap and then vented it very slowly...that was a lot of pressure. First hand experience with this phenomenum? Thanks, Tom
