whooshing sound when removing gas cap

That is not normal, there is a vent valve to compensate for that.

What has not been breached here - and should have been long
ago - is if the owner was in the habit of topping off when gassing
up at the station: 'click-thunk', 'click-thunk'. That action could
contribute to his 'whooshing' experience.

I hear no whooshing sounds and I always do three topoff click-thunks --
even then I don't approach spillage level.

You need only three tools: WD-40, duct tape and a hammer. If it doesn't
move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.
If you can't fix it with a hammer you've got an electrical problem.

On anything newer than 2000 that is a good way to wipe out the charcoal
canister. Fuel goes down the vent line attached to the side of the fill
pipe and drowns the canister.

How far from the top is the vent line attached? LA County filler tube, BTW.

Most are just below the flapper valve in the filler neck.

^This!!^ Why I haven't topped off in fifteen years!

Of course, you might as well be explaining it
to a wall - present "Real" company notwithstanding.
