I'll do a search for the NOS leather gaskets and have also emailed Nick for his fix. Nothing worse than a leaking gas cap on new paint.

I appreciate all the responses so far.

On my 34 BB truck there is a tube which is part of the fuel sender unit which is open at the top inside of the tank and open at the bottom outside. The top part of it sits up inside a bubble in the top of the tank.

Vintique use to make one #B-9030-SS, A non vented cap and it came with fitting that replaces a screw in gas pickup in your stock . The fitting came with a plastic tube that would vent your tank . You can still find them on E Bay once in while . I have one on my car and works great. Tried to a picture but unable

Tanks now makes a non-splash gas cap and you can get it vented or non-vented. $15
I bought a vented one and installed it and tested it this afternoon on my 1932 ford cabriolet and it did NOT leak at all!!
Happy Day!
Had to share this.
Fit was so tight I had to tweak the cap ever so slightly with pliers to get it to fit into the neck of the tank.
Big downside in the purchase from Yogi's is that they shipped me a catalog in a much bigger box and the shipping was over $11 which I thought was ridiculous... and I did NOT request a catalog!
Sorry no pics of the cap but looks like regular SS cap... but doesn't leak!
I had over half a tank of gas and it was leaking gas when cornering before I switched caps.

^^^Thanks. I was trying to do that but my dang computer wouldn't cooperate!!
Just got back from breakfast in the cabriolet and the outside of the gas tank is dry!
I'm very pleased... this issue has haunted me forever.

I spent some time polishing the tank and neck and managed to remove most of the gas stains. Still some more work to do to the neck and bottom of the tank but leaks no more!
