I have a 1967 amazon. Last year i bought a new gas tank and cap. Whenever i fill the tank, it will leak out of the cap. Especially if it is a hot day. Any thoughts?

If your cap is not sealing-
Check the rubber gasket around the cap.
Try to contact manufacturer of your tank(I assume it is some sort of specialized place that makes those given year of the car) and ask them to send you a new cap.
Possibly try to bend the 2 metal lock pieces to get tighter seal.
Buy oem volvo cap($160 at IPD)
