First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I bought a repop gas tank for my 69 and it doesn't have the hidden vent...so I use a vented cap.....it does NOT slosh out...
When I first installed the tank I got a new cap for it (non vented)...it would build up lots of pressure, especially if you filled up after driving and then park it ,esp. in summer when the garage got really hot 110F +_....it actually blew my sending unit gasket...and started leaking when full...after replacing that , I figured out I needed a vented cap...no problem since...

If it has a vent there would be no need for a vented cap. It might be different on the 67,68 because they had the filler neck higher up. The 69 with a vented cap might slosh fuel out since the fill tube is several inches lower. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store>
