The original equipment 1972 K/5 Blazer, Suburban and pickup truck models with the EEC fuel tank systems used a pressure vacuum (non-vented) gas cap, by design the EEC fuel tank doesn't vent through the filler cap on 72 EEC equipped models. If working on a deserving build and want the correct 72 fuel filler cap, we have both 72 specific GM NOS stainless or NOS painted double ring "pressure vacuum" EEC gas caps available for purchase in the below linked parts board f/s thread. Have a look if interested and let us know, Mel
