Re: where to find a vented gas cap

Apparently parts stores carry them. Phone a few local places. I've never seen one though.

But like I said in response to your PM - Just use your normal gas tank vent line. Normally it's vented through the charcoal canister, but if you no longer have one like me, just use a cheesy little $3 toyota camry filter. A PCV breather or cheapy fuel filter. It just needs a screen to keep dust and crud out. I cut my line right near the tank, it's just a 3/8" piece of hose.
