I was under the impression that this had been removed on later ST's.

But yes, if he had one this could be the problem and is also easy to check 
- - open the cap, find the tank vent line and blow through it from the bottom 
(direction air would go into the tank). If you cannot blow through it, the 
valve is installed upside down - simply remove it from the line and rotate 
it 180 degrees.
