Why does my Car start after I fill up the gas tank?
When I fill the gas tank up, the car has trouble starting. It happened several times already. I would then try for a while until I start it up again. After that, the car would run fine until I fill the gas tank up the following time. I went to a shop for this but they couldn’t fix it. Do you have any idea why this happens? Thank you.
When to open the vent on a gas tank?

A carburetor’s job is to gather the fuel and mix it with air before delivering it to the engine. It delivers different ratios of gas and air, depending on the running speed. The diaphragm helps to regulate the fuel in the mixture.
Can a bad diaphragm cause a lawn mower to sputter?
