Yes I had a Bob Drake locking cap on my 34 Ford and if the tank was 3/4 full or more then fuel spewed out of the cap key slot all the time. Bloody useless so I fitted a plain cap and it seals up OK. Also the plain type cap with the V8 impressed in them seal up very well too. The 33-34 fords have a vent tube built into the hydrostatic fuel gauge tank unit. Regards, Kevin.
