my drive to work is 12 miles out and 12 back with a few short trips
in-between and on the weekends. Could be the culprit? Right now my
sevice guy is giving me free "frequent" oil changes until they come up
with a fix.
(Not to shabby for now!). He also advised me to ask for the 100,000 mile
warr. on at least the engine. Said I'd more than likely get it. That's
my next step.
An idea - So, is it the length or presence of the filler tube that's
causing this problem in the first place? What if the filler tube was
somehow eliminated or drastically shortened, maybe relocated? Would this
help? Of course I wouldn't have a clue on how to accomplish any of this,
jsut throwin' ideas around!
