I did buy new gas caps that are supposed to be vented. They are supposed to vent fumes but not allow liquids. I guess they are not working properly? I've been reading up on gasoline boiling points and it seems that there is a huge range of boiling temps. I'm using premium unleaded that perhaps has more volitile hydrocarbons. Maybe I can reduce this problem by using a lower octane gasoline? When I looked as the gas in the tank after I finally got the caps off it looked similar to a pan of water at a full rolling boil. It seemed to 'boil' for several minutes. Do you think something could be wrong with the hydraulics that would make the oil get too hot? They hydraulics are working great with no other problems, just one small leak on a bucket lift cylinder.</p></blockquote><p></p>
