Hi All:
I have some gas smell in my garage after I park the car. I don't see any gas leaking and thought it might be the gas cap gasket or charcoal canister or lines to the canister. The injector seem fine. The car is a 1974 2.0 L. Two questions: Any recommendations where I can source a NOS or high quality charcoal canister and required lines ? Am I missing something as to the gas smell? Thanks! Ron |

I had similar smell. There is a gasket under the fuel filler neck and a gasket under the sending unit that I replaced (you can get these rubber gaskets from 914rubber.com). These seems to fix the smell for me.
As referenced, there is an article on how to refill the cannister (get activated charcoal from a local pet store.) Also note that I replaced every single vacuum line up there (and in the engine bay). Finally, if you still have smell, you may have a leak underneath at the fuel lines and/or you may have a pinhole leak in the tank itself. For example on the pinhole leak, if the hole was halfway up the tank and you would smell gas more readily after filling up.. |
