i cant help you with a solution, my dads truck does the same. if we keep the filler cap loose, it doesn't do it.


I was told to just drill a vent into the cap, since the "system" is not venting correctly.
 
I just delete that totally search the forum there is a full write up to get rid of it. But here in Michigan we don't emissions test so not sure if that would be good were you are.
 
hey so i just went to check on it and pulling out i a brake line blew , wasnt meant to be its behind the gas tank so thats going to get dropped .... thanks for all your help guys
