Re: Whistle while refueling

The vent whistle for 1951 is in the little round cap that is soldered to the top of the gas tank. The whistle was eliminated for 1952 and later with a larger diameter vent tube. See attached pictures.
The gas tank would need to be removed from the car in order to unsolder the vent cap and remove the whistle.
My 22nd Series Custom 8 still has the whistle and as noted by others it does tend to attract attention when filling, especially at the rare locations with full service. It can be quite amusing to note the puzzled or frightened look
from the pump jockey!
