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 |

Below is the fuel evaporation lines at the engine compartment TOM was ititerating..
They come in behind and below the relay board from your charcoal cannister via the drivers side rocker panel, and there are cloth hose connections in the drivers front wheel well by the antenna and in the rocker panel that are made of cloth covver hose.. Usaally hard as a rock by now, unless you have replaced them.. The rest are vac hoses..  |
