I don't think there is such a thing as a 'vented' gas cap for the Max. Isn't there a special evap canister and so forth to do with that? I'd just go to the dealer and get one.

Original equipment.

The caps have special pressurized valves.

Urrr..which way did he go, George.....which way did he go? Uhhh...

Remember, we were taught grammar in 3rd grade.. Read more.

Yeah, Oddball86, these guys are right, just get the cap from Nissan if your neighbor in MN doesn't have one. If you know the parts guy at the dealer well enough, he may just give it to ya...connections are good.
