Mine does too. But I think it is more because Federal Smog specs require
it rather than any blockage. I haven't realy looked at that part of my
79 Spit (if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!) but I do remember back in 72
I bought a new MG and there was a "fuel evaporative loss" collection
system that basicly sucked the fumes out of the gas tank (resulting in the
SWOOSH you heard) and injected them into the system in an attempt to burn
them.
Can anyone else confirm/deny this??
