Hi when I run my dozer for a few minutes and loosen the fuel cap it has a little vacuum,if I run it for a few hours it has quite a lot of vacuum to it,is this normal or should there be a vent hole somewhere that might be stopped up.Thanks

There is a vent built into the tank..If you look at the bottom of the tank you will find a weldment by itself..there should be a hole in the center of that weldment..This is a tube that goes to the top of the tank for venting...

Thanks Roy,I found the weldment as you described and it looks as if it has been smashed off and someone has welded it up solid.So now I think I"ll just add a little cintered filter like some of the chainsaws use to the filler cap,that should keep debris out and allow enough air into the tank.Thanks again,Rick

My 350 does the same thing. Been running for years.
