In the past I:
Ran new fuel and vacume lines Cleaned the interior Replaced seals and gaskets on the fuel injection Today I decided it was time to replace the charcoal in the canister next to the fuel tank I purchased some replacement charcoal on Amazon. I've read that this isn't optimal but I feel it's got to be better than leaving the 45 year old origional mixture in the car. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Did you change the rubber gasket on the fuel filler going into the tank? I replaced all the hoses and gaskets in mine but the smell was still there. Replaced the gasket under the fuel filler neck and presto!!
