They will generally stink if you fill the tank all the way to the top, expecially in warm eather. The vent is in the gas cap, so any overflow or excess fumes goes out right next to the drivers window.

Re: '61 c10 apache

Yah smoking is not an option with these cab mounted fuel tanks..
I just replaced my filler neck cause som crack head wanted to siphon my gas out and didn't think of twisting th cap off, but instead taking a screw driver and prying it off..

How did all the smokers of the 60's and 70's deal with that?
