OK, I had one of my blonde moments http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_5_133.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000)
Just got back from camping and I left the tinny in the drive whilst we had a brew. The tank was vented and having done a trip since filling it, I was sure that it was far from full. Unloaded some of the gear and left the tank sitting on the tinny seat which is fully carpeted. Came back out less than half an hour later and the petrol (or air) had expanded that much that petrol was being pushed out of the vent. Needless to say, it's made a fine mess of the glue that was used to hold the carpet to the seat and the nice blue carpet ain't looking too good either http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_13_11.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000)
There was also a nice puddle of petrol underneath the floor, so beware if you leave your tank in the sun http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/12/12_2_31.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNfox000)
