Hello everyone. I'm a new owner of a 1975 914 1.8l (pictures shortly) with 75,000 miles. It was converted professionally to dual carbs from the original bosch fuel injection system. The car drives well but have noticed that when I park it in the garage after driving that a very strong gas smell lingers for days. I don't see any fuel leak. Is there a charcoal filter I've missed that needs replacing or can anyone recommend some items to check.
Pictures soon as I start the restore this winter, I'm a restore newbie so it should be painfully fun. Cheers, David |

I am pretty sure the charcoal canister is located in the engine compartment on the battery tray. I have a 75 1.8 also but my canister is missing. FRom pics I have seen it should be in the engine compartment not the front trunk as earlier cars used to have.

FRom pics I have seen it should be in the engine compartment not the front trunk as earlier cars used to have. Up through early 1974 model year, the car had the charcoal canister mounted above the fuel tank. In mid-74, they moved the tank back into the engine bay. One of my 74s (the 1.8) had the engine-bay-mounted one, my 74 2.0 has the front-mounted one. Note that only the front-mounted canister cars have two plastic lines running through the rocker panel. The engine-bay canister cars have a single smaller line that runs through the center tunnel. --DD |
