    It's a 1985 big red... I'm not sure if I could drill it out it does have a hole in the bottom I like to take it apart but it seems like its crimped on.

    I happen to have an 85 Big Red. Do you want me to see if that 200x cap will fit the tank?

    I remember reading a post about drilling a small hole somewhere in the cap to fix this problem....but I don't remember the details....I just know that some people have done it.
