gas spill fix
Ive got a 68 f250 and the gas cap doesnt exactly hold gas in. Im worried that if I ever roll over wheeling its gonna be real messy if not dangerous. Does anyone know of a solution to this. I know new vehicles have filler necks that stop gas from spilling but I was wondering if there is some kind of aftermarket solution. One of these days im probably gonna move the bomb from behind my seat but until then Im looking for a quicker easier fix.
Thanks

I have a brand new gas cap so the cap is not the issue and I dont want to completely seal off the tank I would like it to vent. What I was hoping to find is some sort of check valve like if the truck was angled, or began to tip the filler neck would seal off. The issue is that unlike newer vehicles which have those flaps, and fancy safety things, my truck just has a straight tube.

I bought a locking gas cap from motorhaven.com for my 1971 F-100 and it holds the gas in too well. I noticed a gas smell from my truck after filling and topping it. It held enough pressure to give me a gasoline bath. I have had the truck on fairly steep sidehills and gas has not spilled out the gas cap or tube since I bought the locking one.
