:doh::doh: Crap.....I forgot that there was a plastic tube in there......it should still allow the tank to fill.....since I'm not planning to heat the oil over 120 degrees maybe it won't melt.
The fittings on top of the tank were so corroded into the tank I didn't want to risk ruining...
It's a 1921 Oldsmobile. It now resides at:

No time line yet on when the issue will be resolved.''
I'll update as soon...
