Stanley735 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 It sounds as it the vent pipe is plugged up or has a kink in it. The vent line should parallel the filler neck and enter the filler neck somewhere near where the gas cap would attach.Jim Showers1921 Stanley 735B Touring1953 Packard Caavalier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlightcoupe Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 None of the Studebakers I've restored have a vent pipe. Sounds like you have an obstruction;could be in the tank or deterioration in the filler neck hose. Studebaker International and SASCO have the hose available. It has a slight angle to it. You'll have problems with the filler neck if you try to use a straight piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
