Todd, I hear you, it's an easy way to tag progress on your Packard.

Todd,
for including your '49 Deluxe Eight Touring Sedan in the Registry.

G'day Todd W. White,
to PackardInfo.

As mentioned by others it could be a non venting fuel cap. See this THREAD which details a similar experience.

Meanwhile, as you're sorting out the problem, I invite you to include your '49 Deluxe Eight Touring Sedan in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

Don, Here's a photo of the stainless tube I installed in the '41. It took the place of a rusted out mild steel Packard part, but you could paint it and nobody would be any the wiser. Note, the curve in the stainless tube isn't quite the same as the Packard tube, it's close but I used what I could get!


EDIT - I'm pretty sure that either Max or Kanters or both can suppply a kit with all the parts required, hoses, clamps and tube.

Don, I notice in one of your photos that you have what appears to be a corrugated flexible lower radiator hose.




Unless that hose contains a wire stiffening coil I'd be worried the hose could collapse from the suction effect of your waterpump, especially since you've now repaired it. All the pre-war Packards I've seen have a length of slightly curved steel tubing between two small sections of radiator hose to prevent that from happening. When I replaced the rusted mild steel original tube in my '41 120 I sourced a section of stainless steel tubing, courtesy of an offcut from the local muffler shop.
