BR 600 gas tank pressure

[Kwoody51]

I recently picked up a used BR600 blower. The unit runs fine however the gas tank gets pressurized when I run it.

Any thoughts on what could cause this?

I'm fairly certain its pressure and not a vacuum.

I've searched and didn't find anything on this forum or Google so hopefully I'm not just blind. Sorry if there is a thread out there.

There is a vent, somewhere,,,

Thanks! I know where the tank vent is but was too lazy to check it/ clean it. Perhaps I need to give that a go.

My thought was that it is only a one way vent allow air to be drawn in, avoiding s vaccum as the fuel is depleted. Perhaps it's a two vent. Guess I'll have to pull it and clean it.

install a new ebz8500, and that will fix your br 600

Yep, that would do it

So far I haven't noticed any issues. Not sure if it's still doing it or not. The blower has been working well to blow light snow off my driveway and front porch.

tank vents are tested with vacuum
