Rusty gas tank cap

Does anyone have moisture problems with their in-cab gas tanks? The bottom of my gas cap is rusty, wondering how condensation is getting in the tank. Is the vent in the cap or tank sticking open? So far engine runs fine, but the moisture/rust concerns me, don't want problem to progress.

My tank sweats

The outside of my tank sweats. I can't figure it out, tho i'm sure someone has had this problem. It's behind the seat in a 72 c/10. every line is connected as it should be I believe. but it sweats up to however full the tank is. ? Cliff

Condensation will form in the gas tank (any gas tank) when the weather changes accordingly AND if there is not a full tank of gas. That's why I "try" to keep my tank full as much as possible.
