As I attempt to fill the gas tank gas bubbles out? If the tank vented and if yes where? I tanks quite awhile to put in a few gallons at a squirt at a time. Ray

I've had a '40 and a '38. Both are slow to take fuel. I adjust the fuel flow to about a tenth of a gallon per second and seem to do well.

The only vent for the gas tank is in the filler neck,,right under the gas cap,its a little tube,smaller than a straw, that passes through fill pipe,and comes out inside the fender,on our 38 conv.it was plugged, the gas expanded on a hot day,forced its way out around the cap,took the paint off the fender..(ouch),,this would"nt make it fill slow,is the rubber hose between the tank and the filler pipe good? maybe a restriction in the pipe itself?we have two 38's and don't have that much trouble...

I had the same problem. I think it is a combination of too small of a factory vent and the fast pumping of modern station fuel pumps. What I did was add a 1'4" tube inside the existing neck (note pictures) and the problem was solved. Now I can pour gas in the car without having fuel backing-up and flowing down on the fender. Tom
