no hiss opening gas cap Sign In
did a prepurchase inspection on the same vehicle twice. three times opening the gas cap, and no hiss sound, i.e. no gas tank vacuum or positive pressure. is this a red flag?

No. If that was a problem or you somehow think so get codes pre-purchase and see if there is something wrong,

No, there is not supposed to be pressure. The system is vented. You wouldn't be able to fill the tank otherwise.

Re: no hiss opening gas cap Sign In
is that model specific? i thought fuel pumps generally pull a slight vacuum on the tank.

yes the system is vented, but it looks like there are 3 different pressure sensitive valves it has to get through to get to the vent:

The system has to be normally vent into a charcoal canister. It has pressure sensors and shut off solenoids that are used for self testing to assure the system is sealed tight. as I stated before, you wouldn't be able to fill the tank if it was not vented.
