this is normal
your evap system is doing its job. if it is not hissing, chances are there is a leak and will fail delaware emmissions. fyi. that is if you lived in delaware.

the hissing is a very serious problem, next time you fill up pull the gas cap off then immediatly light your lighter where you hear the noise coming from.

but honestly, as you drive it builds up pressure and at the same time helps your fuel pump (or so im told) im also told that driving around without a gas cap will make your fuel pump ware quicker... could be a myth
