Fuel tank pressure relief valve

My Geo Prizm's gas tank keeps building up with pressure and blowing a hole in the tank at it's weakest point. Where is the relief valve and can it be replaced? Would a new tank come with one or is it a separate part? Do they make pressure relief gas caps and would this solve the problem as well?? Thanks

If the gas tank is let low on fuel. This causes presure to build up .The tank can only expand so much before exploding.Check you're fuel cap to see if theres a small hole if so check for blockage. You may need to buy a new cap. i hope this helps good luck,

SOURCE: engine code 14 ignition signal and code 26 rich

I would start by replacing the primary ignition system,cap,rotors,wires,you can't just check these items they could be defective where you are unable to see.a rich condition can be caused by a mis fire from a wire,a bad tps,or 02 sensor,but I would always start with the basics and not overlook them,if you need any more help let me know.

My 1990 Geo Prizm GSI will start, but it won't keep running when the weather is cold.

Sounds like the automatic choke control on the carburator is shot! It is stopping the proper flow of gas from getting to the engine...replace it! Also make sure you have recently replaced the fuel filter; moisture in the gas will stick to the filter and freeze up making it hard for gas to get through!

Where is the fuel filter location on my 1996 geo prizm ?

Check underneath the car before the back tire and before the gas tank. I can't remember which side its on (driver/Passenger).

No pressure in gas tank when the cap is opened.

I am not sure I understan tghe question. You should not have a lot of pressure in the tank. There are hoses that capture any vapors that are in the tank and eleviate pressure build up.
Most often I have found the engine light on because of gas tank vent, such as loose
or bad gas cap or the vent valve stuck open. The computer does a cycle ever so often
and maintains the vent pressure build up in the gas tank and vapor canister, and if the purge valve sticks open the computer gives a check engine light and code as the pressure is not in the vapor storage tank when called for.
If your worried about no pressure at all then I would change the gas cap and see if this helps
