My 76 Red car got converted to dual Webers before I bought it...Since ive owned it, it has always had a VERY strong fuel smell after running it for awhile....It has the expansion tank still on it. If it sits for a couple days no smell....checked lines and tunnel and no visible leaks...no leaks under car....Im stumped...
HELP the smell is so bad that it lingers long after shutting the car down......It even makes my clothes smell just from running the car... Thanks again, everyone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Steve |

I am stupid, my heart is bigger than my brain.. I do not know about carbs. But I would think that not an absolute, and would be nice if that was the problem alone, but there is a chance that is not the problem at all. If it was a fart no problem get an air frshener and roll thw windows (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) , but it is fuel.. so maybe there is a leak? Maybe there is a leak and you will never see a puddle of gas for long, look fuel smelling stain, residue.. Be safe.
