'51 Studebaker Gas Tank Vent - Help, Please!
I've built probably a dozen cars in my 50+ years, but never have I messed with the gas tank filler. 'Don't fool with mother nature' thing I guess. Well, in making my '51 Stude into a modified custom I decided that the barn door that was used on the side of the car to accomodate the gas filler had to go - and it has. When moving the filler to inside of the trunk and dropping the tank while doing so for clean-up and inspection, I was astonished to find the absence of a vent tube - anywhere. Well now that I have the filler inside of the trunk, I get a trunk-full of gas everytime I fuel up!
There has to be a remedy for this somewhere - I just haven't tripped over it yet. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not really keen welding on gas tanks. Seems like they'd be prone to blowing up...Last edited by danfowler; 07-02-2005 at 03:44 PM.
