I hate to bust your bubble but we were having gas boiling in the gas tank of a farmall 400 with a mounted corn in the hot fall of 1963. There was no alcohol in the gas back then! IT WAS JUST HOT AND THE HOOD WAS DESIGNED TO CARRY THE ENGINE HEAT STRAIGHT BACK TO THE GAS TANK!!!!! I suspect the hood on your Ford is designed the same way. Our answer at that time was to cut 2 in. wide slots on the side and over the top of the hood ahead of the gas tank. Also the heat shield needs to be in front of the gas tank with the hood vents in front of the heat shield. This lets the heat to exit the top of the hood like it wants to(remember heat rises!}. Try working the tractor without the hood for a couple of hours and see if the gas tank stays cooler. By the way IH redesigned the gas cap so it vented different. Don"t know if Ford upgraded their fuel caps or not. The IH caps were and still are free. Not sure if they will fit your Ford. Try taking a hood panel off and let us know what happens. Armand
