<VV> When i fill my gas tank on my 65 corvair

[Jack Kean]

While rare, holes in the top of the tank are not impossible.

One of the POs of my convertible must have screwed something down (fire 
extinguisher?) in the trunk, directly over the fuel tank. It was long 
gone before I purchased the car. I never had a problem with it, until I 
filled the tank to the top and watched gas shoot out of three little 
depressions into the trunk.

I bought a new tank.

That problem was solved (also found rotten overflow hose, no return hose 
(68 convertible) and loose main filler hose (It's a wonder I did not 
make the evening news with the car on fire).

Get this fixed now. Removing the tank is simple. Get all of the parts 
from either the east or west coast vendor. They fit; without messing 
around. This is one area where waiting can cause you to lose your car 
(and possibly your life).
