| WOW! That's strange. Your not using that carbonated gas are ya' :D Was Did this just start all of a sudden?? Was the tank changed?? Maybe there is a later bus tank with a FI return line on it & somthing is pumping air into your tank, or someone through some alkaseltzer in your tank. |

| The gas expands when it gets hot, is my take on your situation. You have the wrong gas cap or plugged vent in the cap. There are a bunch of the wrong caps going around and being sold by the parts houses even with the right parts numbers. Usually a vacuum forms and the bus feels like it's starving but it still idles. Perhaps you aren't driving that fast and far so you aren't sucking away the pressure. Either way the cap's wrong, in my opinion. Kragen has a chrome cap that fits busses but you have to take yours and match the bottom part cuz the'll tell you they don't have one since it's not in their books. |

| I had an aftermarket cap that wouldn't let air in & I thought I ran out of gas twice, but finally relized the suction sound when opening the cap. I agree, get a original cap if you can. |
