Mud daubers killed my tank.

When they clogged the vent, a long road trip with 2 hours at a time rolling at 70 mph, I "ran out of gas". That gas cap was so hard to get off. Filled up the tank with my wvo i had in trunk for the trip, it only took 12 gallons. Odd. Got home and got under the car, and noticed the tank had been crushed in. Little buggers.
Just know if you ever feel a little suction when taking off the gas cap or your gas tank takes a deep breath when you take it off, your vent is getting clogged. Clean it before running long highway trips or leave gas cap off until you can.
