Angus: These days it is not uncommon for gas to boil in the tank of tractors that have the fuel tank above the engine. This was largly unheard of 20 or 25 years ago (in the midwest, at least) and is due mostly to the higher volatility of today's gas. Avoid gas with alcohol if possible and you will have less of a problem. Also, winter formula gas is more volatile and more of a problem in this respect. The fact that you witnessed a rapid release of pressure when you opened the cap indicates that the tank vent is clogged. This is not uncommon on Ns. You may want to replace your fuel cap with a vented one because excess pressure can split a tank seam or cause a leak at another weak spot. This can happen just from letting the tractor sit in the sun with a nearly full tank. Finally, does your N have a pusher fan? If so, you will probably have more problems with boiling gas as there is less air moving above the engine. Dean
