<div>Does this vent placing in the filler neck let gas fumes escape into the trunk area? Which would also mean fumes could creep into the car's interior...</div>

<div>On my fuel cap, it's neck that goes down into the clamped hose, can be moved around independent of the vent tube on the top of the tank. Aren't they all? </div>
<div>I gill my tank from standing behind the bumper so which side left or right the cap opens is immaterial. </div>

<div>Hello friends,
<div> If you've followed any of the work on my '75 US specification TR6 you will know that the following question is probably irrelevant...but I ask anyway, for your sage advice:</div>
<div><br clear="none">
</div>
<div>When reinstalling the fuel filler cap, which is the correct orientation? Hinge side toward the front. Or rear? Or to one side or another?</div>

<div> Thanks in advance of your reply.</div>
