I don't see a year Imperial mentioned, but if it has the correct tank & is 
64 or newer, you need a vented cap.

Many radiator companies also work on gas tanks.  A sort of impervious 
polymer membrane can be installed inside your tank, almost regardless of its 
condition.  The new lining reduces capacity somewhat, which makes your fuel 
gauge off which might be a significant draw back.  We had a Model A and the 
tank was corroded and getting worse.  The metal had become altogether too 
thin.  The coating had several benefits for this situation.  I'm not sure if 
an amateur can or should try the procedure.

Anyway you look at it, the loss of your original tank is regrettable.  I 
assume a replacement of similar capacity was installed.

 Subject: IML: Is there anyway to tell which type car tank was originally 
on your car?


 When I was redoing my car the smartie Mechanics decided to throw my 
original in the woods. So much for caring about Nature. I thought maybe by 
serial number of something you can tell what you had.  I now think that has 
something to do with mine acting weird going up hill. It fades out like its 
out of gas or can surge too..otherwise it runs even now .. Do they still 
sell that gas tank solution to seal  the inside?
