Question Re: Chevelle Gas Tank Swap

3. The rear bumper bolts up level to the frame, so if I mount the tank flush to the frame, I will need to modify the filler neck, and it will be laying flat, I'm not sure about that set up, I'm worried that the gas might leak out through my vented gas cap
Nice-looking addition you are doing, Rudy. As far as gas leaking, can't you just convert to a non-vent cap and install a vent tube with a filter about anywhere toward front/top of tank?
