When driving the car (engine is a 2.2L 6 with triple Webers) I frequently smell gas. This is with the targa on or off. The smell comes and goes...it's not consistent; however, it always occurs
If I stop the car and check around the car (with the engine running) I don't smell it. With the engine running I have checked everywhere and don't see or smell anything. No drips or puddles under the car, around the carbs, etc. I have checked connections on the fuel pump and nothing there. I have thought of two possibilities: 1. Leaking fuel line in the tunnel (which I should smell all the time...right?) 2. Fumes coming into the cockpit from the engine compartment. Any other thoughts? Update: 5/3 Drove the car extensively today and, as usual, the gas smell comes and goes. Stopped while the smell was strong and checked around the carbs...dry Looked under the car...dry Opened the trunk...no smell. Even pulled the gear shift to see if there was a gas smell in the tunnel...nothing The only thing I see is this line is hanging out in space...could the smell be coming from here? Should I cap it or does it need to connect somewhere? Remember...this car has triple webers...it's not fuel injected. |

As toolguy mentioned, check the tank overflow line. For some reason mine was not routed down and out of the car. When I did hard left hand corners with a full tank, gas would come out and end up in the passenger compartment through holes in the bulkhead.
