This was last year of the air type gas gauge, and if the setup is like 1932 the tank is vented through the sender unit at bottom of tank, with an unvented cap up top. I don't have a proper parts book here to check on that...
If that's the way this is set up the cap is meant to seal...you may have the later '36-48 cap with vent hole. Most types can be sealed up with a drop of solder if that's the case.
