Hi All.
I have 2 cars. My driver is a 75 and a restoration project 74 car. My 75 often stinks of gas. I don't think there are any leaks. I never see fuel anywhere only a smell. The 74 I have has a carbon canister and hoses to the engine. These run thru the fenfer well on the driver's side. The 75 has none of this. There are no holes for hoses to run to the engine. The picture shows my expansion tank. The single hose runs out of the tank to vent under the car just below the spare tire. Mark |

Mark,
I'm not at home right now to look at the cars, but I think both years are pretty much the same. The charcoal vapor recovery canister is next to the expansion tank on the top of the tank - on both the 74 and 76 cars I have. The 76 went to a plastic tank around the fuel filler and the 74 is steel. So your car is missing the vapor recovery canister. Check that all the hoses are attached or open ends vent outside the car. Check the rubber gasket in the filler cap. This is a good spot for fumes to get out. |
