Weird problems
#21
i think the 99 has three pieces to the fill pipe/hose. maybe take it lose from the lowest point/closest to tank and see if theres something going on there. mine is one piece, fill pipe is connected to the tank so cant take it lose.

i toke the top part of it off. there was only about 6 inches left still connected it looked fine. thats how i noticed when i opened the bottom flap on the fill tube it was pressurized and gas would come out.

as long as there is a pressure difference the flap is going to stay there. somehow it got flipped up and stuck. take as much of the fill tube out as you can again and put a rag over the opening. then let the pressure out. if its not jammed in there the flap should flip down. it may take a little help if its stuck from being there for a time. if you havent yet you may want to pick up a new gas cap.

how is all this pressure building up. well if its metal then its either on a hinge or a slide. so it would either flip down or slide up and down. can you get a couple pictures. i can not find anything on any flap in a gas tank on line.
