No you don’t! I don’t know what the capacity of one it, but I now know from experience they can’t handle 0.58 gallons in two hours. I also don’t know what the maximum pressure on the sealed fuel system is before it starts leaking is, but I exceeded it. My car always had good vacuum whenever I opened the fuel cap to refill, so I know it is well sealed but it was definitely leaking yesterday.
