Last year on the way to Vegas My car started blowing gas through the fume
vent line that goes to the  charcoal canister. Obviously gas blowing on the
engine of a plastic car is scary. we ended up driving with the gas cap off to
reduce pressure inthe tank. Since then i have been trying to figure out what
caused this. I have been thinking that it was due to the muffler getting to
hot (it is a replacement) and causing the gas to boil. Did you have this
problem or just wrap the muffler to prevent it. I have used that header tape
on my vette and one triumph and it works quite well . Pugs
