Oh, sorry, I thought you meant it was burning it. Wow! A quart thru the cap... must be a mess!

Yours is a non-Turbo I'm guessing. It's got to be the flame trap... it sounds like a textbook case of it being clogged. If not... could be a clogged vacuum line elbow -- those also cause buildup in pressure much like a clogged flame trap.

However, between you and me, I think Russell Horscroft has it nailed.
