Okay
Noticed a screw on the top of my fuel tank cap. I guess its for pressure release or so I assume. If so when should it be open (screwed out) and closed (screwed in) ?
And if the tank is not full can it be left closed or should it still be open. ? Live in Florida with the hot blazing sun and hate to blow up my boat cause the tank over pressurized (if possible to happen).
Also I have tried to find a new one since the gasket in this one is about gone but the local Marinas didn't have one and didn't notice one at West Marine. Any were else that might. ? Is one size fit all.
Attached is a pic of the cap and the fuel tank. Its not metal either if that matters.
Thanks
Mark
