    57 fuel tank

    when I purchased my 57 it came with a non vented tank. I know, by my serial number, it should have a vented tank. Can I take my non vented tank and install a fitting on top for the vent hose or do I have to have tank with baffles in order to install a tank vent?

    Roy, I would think baffles or not you could add the vent elbow on top in it's normal place.

      Roy,

      Do you think that's the original tank or not? What makes you think it should have a vented tank other than the VIN ?

      What is the VIN of your '57? Is it closed to the change over?

        Roy,
        Do you show any holes in the fuel fill area where the rubber vent hose would enter and the hole for the hose clip screw ??

          Dave, Yes that's a good idea. That would be the evidence of whether or not it had the later vented tank.
