It is vented for air in. I have seen some swelling just push down on the vent screw to relieve

The gas cap has a vent that you can close when not in use (like most marine tanks). I have had no issues with swelling after several months of use, but it stays in the shade. It's a nice tank. I'm very satisfied.

The tank is vented. I have not had it out in the sun yet. It is put away for the winter.

The one I got was vented (the cap has a screw type vent), but the fuel line did not swivel as advertised. Additionally, it does leak out of the fuel line during storage when going through temperature changes...I seem to have this problem with a completely different metal tank, so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing (or not doing correctly).

It is not vented, at least not the plastic rainguard part. But the sides aren't really attached-there are ties up by the pushbar and down by the front wheel-so the child isn't in an airless bubble. He/she won't feel a breeze, though.

yes it is vented and if your tank neck is very shallow where the tank neck accepts the cap tabs this cap is perfect and as far as the year for this cap it seams no matter what year it is even the people salling the caps do not know there are several tanks out there they used if you still have your old cap take a look at each one on amazon and match it up it took me a while to study them but its not too hard too do you can turn the caps around and over

It doesn't leak it should evaporate if you crack a window once in a while. Maybe the tank is too full?

is the water level drops below the intake, it spits and spurts.... low enough, doesn't spray at all. The directions say that allowing the unit to stay in the sun w/o water will damage the pump.

Hi X Fan, Yes, the tank is water tight. You may fill it with water. If there is anything else we may help you with, please let us know. John HaynesCustomer ServiceeTeam SpecialistCarolina Biological Supply Company

i don't know. mine came with a gauge already on it. mine sets in hot tennessee sun. sun and heat creates a lot of pressure. i have seen one tank swell like a balloon and another tank cave in.i would personally not alter it.

I didn't see the steam vapors from the vent, either. However, the water in the tank is vaporized. The light is only on when it needs to be replaced, I think.

No, the tank is not insulated. I've hade mine for nearly a year but have had no trouble with condensation despite no insulation.

We ended up buying a complete tank that fit on our cooler with no problem. Did discover that removing the drip dome cover and it would fit in our old tank. Sunbeam cooler.

Yes, it does need to vent outside. Not sure about Buckeye, but we live in Southern California and we haven't had any issues with the bucket filling up too fast. We've had it over a year now and it works great.

Yes, there is an air vent. We've had ours in the sun constantly for two seasons and it's just now beginning to fade ... It's lasted much longer than others we've purchased locally (at Bed, Bath & Beyond, for instance).

It does have a vent in the lid. And we've used ours about a dozen times and no problems so far.

Cap is vented. I keep gas in garage that stays cool, so not sure about swelling. But I never noticed pressure release on warm days, so I'm sure it will be ok.

No....this is not a vented cover and you would have a problem with overheating. It does trailer fine though.

I gave the grill as a gift and quite honestly I think it had a vent in back but can't remember for sure. I'm sure you could contact the dealer for more information. Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

I wouldn't leave it out in direct sunlight on a very hot day. I have pressurized the tank as high as 100psi with no trouble, but air expands when heated so you could cause a failure. I live in Southern California and have not had any trouble in warm weather, but I'm not willing to push the limits of the reservoir because I experienced a tire blowout once when I left my bike out in direct sunlight.
