With the location of the '36 gas tank vent tube coming up to the top of the filler neck, it seems to me that a vented cap would be needed, but maybe I am missing the basics here.
Yes if there is a vent tube coming out the top of the filler neck a vented cap would be required. Can a 1936 filler neck with the vent tube be fitted too a 1935 gas tank. If you have the original set up of the hydrostatic sending unit in a 1935 you would require a sealed cap as if you filled the tank right up you would have trouble with gas coming out of the vented cap if fitted.
