Why is there a hissing noise when I open my petrol cap?
The noise you hear is air rushing into the fuel tank, due to the low pressure caused by the use of fuel. Shouldn’t air be allowed in and not out? Couldn’t the hiss be the air in the tank coming out after expanding due to the heat of driving? Something has to let air into the tank, right? – JPhi1618 Oct 9 ’15 at 20:17
