[QUOTE="jarance, post: 222025, member: 21"] A proper fitting BMW fuel cap will prevent the leakage of fuel vapors from the fuel filler neck. A leaking or missing gas caps can result in the loss of 40 litres of petrol per year into the atmosphere. In the case of pressure built up, there should be a pressure relief valve to prevent this. Some newer model from 1997 onward have a fuel expansion tank. BTW, the fuel filler cap is similar to the radiator cap. I remember stud daddy have a faulty cap and it cause the fuel vapour to leak thru it. (Nothing related to the problem of this thread) [/QUOTE]
