65 barracuda gas fill issue
The dinky 1 5/8" filler tube combined with the nearly horizontal angle of it, is the main issue. The early tank will not take a larger diameter filler, and the angle is built in (short of using a top-fill fuel cell in the trunk). All that's left is either additional venting or shielding the splash (fuel restrictor), otherwise you just fill slower. Beats wrecking the paint over time.
The Aussies had a simple trick on their A bodies- a bolt-on spill tray. It didn't get rid of the fuel splash, but it at least kept it off the body.
All early As have the same issue- Barracudas, Valiants, Darts. Even my wagon.
