I was using a Massey Fergerson tractor one time when that was the case and the tractor stopped running. In fact the pressure had built up to the point the fuel was being forced out of the tank where the upper and lower tank halves were seamed together. The new caps are an attempt to limit liability I'm sure in case of an accident and it is always safer to open a fuel cap slowly anyhow, Hal.
