Re: gas spilling out of filler

My 61 don't have an overflow tube and neither should yours.

You need to replace the cap with one that has a good rubber seal. The fuel is NOT coming out of the neck between the gasket and the trunk, it's coming out under the lip of the gas CAP.

Make sure that teh cap fits tightly, also make sure that the outer edge where the cap seals is FLAT.

If all that fails, stop putting 13 gallons into a tank that only holds 11 gallons....
