1974 2.0 L Charcoal Canister Options

[Rsjg911]

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!

74 was a transition year; the earlier 74s had the two vacuum lines running along the driver's side rocker and the canister was on top of the fuel tank, while the later ones had the single small line through the center tunnel and the canister was in the engine bay.

Double-check which you have; it would be easiest to put the system back to how it originally was.

Thanks Dave. My car was manufactured 10/73 (it's a 1974) and the plastic canister is in the frunk in front of the driver, not on top of the fuel tank. It has 2 lines on one end, 1 on the other.
Part #113 201 823A on one side, #113 201 813 on the otger.

If you're saying that it is in front of the bulkhead and is in the trunk proper, it has been moved. It should be on top of the tank. Here is a pic of the early-style location:

You can see it between the fuel tank's evap chamber and the brake fluid reservoir. Black with a silver band around it.
