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 |

edit: what he said (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif)
the 75-76 cars had the charcoal canister in the engine bay, stock location was mounted to the side of the battery tray. afaik, the only thing running to the canister from the front is a small diameter plastic hose, less than 1/4 inch diameter. on my car, which is very original, this hose runs alongside the fuel feed & return lines. so i would surmise that it enters the gas tank area in the same location as the fuel lines. it's been awhile since i've had the tank out, so i might be wrong on some points. ~a |
