Focus - vapour lock?

    My ST170 was way down on power yesterday...wouldn't run beyond 119 km/h.

    Scratched my head a bit and decided that the tank had been totally full, having been filled in the evening and parked straight away and the day was quite warm, so I tried releasing the fuel cap, which caused quite a big hiss. Left it until this morning and it is fine now.

    So what do you think? blocked breather perhaps?

    edit: this might also explain previously reported troubles with loss of power when the tank was nearly empty I guess...is the breather in the cap? a new cap might be in order I that case.
