John did you run a vent on yours? From your article theres about 3" from the tank neck to the bed so i think theres enough there to run a vent hose from the neck hose.

Maybe not, I just figured it might aid venting the vapors better. I am going to put a vented cap on it tho.

I got the 70 Mustang 22gal. tank I just used a vented cap so far I haven't had any problems I've had in it in for about three years. However you have to keep an eye on the cap to make sure the vent hole doesn't rust up and get obstructed.
