It should have! Note: i'm a 42yr completely disabled [muscular dystrophy-no movement in legs/arms/body], i'm in a electric wheelchair... I have no choice but to use the van, but no one has given me a certain diagnosis, no one knows what could cause the gas to build so much pressure. The cap can't be "cross-threaded", there was so much pressure it in the process of blowing up.... Thank god it didn't! Please help?
