[Healeys] Gas Caps

[philritten at aol.com]

Lets say for argument sake that I'm losing a gallon a week. If I took off  
the gas cap entirely, is it possible for that much to "evaporate"?

All,

The  car is in a padlocked garage, with an older locking gas cap (and  no
teenagers). That's why I'm so puzzled. There is no smell of gas  in the 
trunk,
and no sign of leakage (under the car or at the fuel  pump).

Rather  than looking for a new gas cap, I think you  should be looking for a
guy  with an Oklahoma credit card (a 3' long  hose).
I have never heard of that  amount of gas evaporating in a  week even if the
cap is off.  And the  cap on your car had  better be venting, or there will
be
problems.
