THe original cap with vent and gasket was typical for the times. It had the following issues: When the tractor was fillednear full, and driven, the fuel would splash against the cap and erupt out of the vent. The ability of the cap to conform to the (often bent) tank neck was marginal, allowing more leaking. The cap had no ability to limit leakage in a tractor accident.
