If this is a really possibility - how hard would it be to make a gas cap with a vacuum relief valve built in- it may already have a pressure relief valve in it - no reason you can't do both - . Guess this doesn't help the guy with the collapsed tank - but this scares me.

Nothing new, I was married for 5 years and was wrong all the time - I'll get over it.
