Does the petrol cap form part of the pressurised fuel system on the grande pinto 1.4 8v engine?
 
Hi, yes I mean the locking filler cap, mine doesn't lock, and I wondered if it would have an effect on the fuel system. My last car was an astra, and when I took off the filler cap you could hear the release of pressure, this car came to me with the cap not locking so I am unsure if it should do the same thing. Currently it makes no sound when you take it off.
 
Mine does lock sometimes and mostly it clicks and then there's this return spring type of thing on it. I'm not really sure if it's correctly closed. It says to close gently, well that's what I've done but have the same doubt.

It shouldnt effect the engine running..

What does the tank pump sound like.. how long does it run?
