Topic: 1948 gas tank vented?

  my car: 1948 super deluxe v8
my q: is my gas tank supposed to be vented?

I am about to install my new bob drake gas tank and sending unit. I am salvaging my filler hose but have a new gas cap (like OEM) and coupling between filler hose and new gas tank. I have new hard line fuel line, new fuel pump (like OEM), and new 9-inch rubber hose between pump and fuel supply line.

Do I need to vent this gas tank? Is it vented automatically somehow by the new fuel pump? Please help.

  If your new cap is vented, and they usually are, you should be okay.

  my '47 came with unvented cap but I picked up 2 NOS ford vented caps. Have one left over.
