Gas cap, vented
I replaced the fuel pump on a 72 GMC with a single in / single out pump so all of the other lines leading to the original cab fuel tank are capped. I need a new gas tank cap. The old one lets fuel slosh out on corners. Are all the gas tank caps vented or just the 67 thru 71 type?

I was thinking they changed the cap after 70 to a non-vented cap. The new replacement caps don't let fuel slosh out, at least not the ones I recently bought. I'm assuming you have an older cap, since it leaks. I bought a new cap for my 52 three weeks ago, it's the same cap as my 69. Both allow some pressure to build in the tank.

71 and 72 caps are smaller then 67-70 I am not sure about the 72 but on my 69 Thanks to ddsmith I sovled my vent problem follow his instuctions in this post and it stops the pressure build up problem.
