I finally put enough miles on this new-to-me 1970 914-4 to refuel it. Since then I've noticed a strong gasoline smell after hard acceleration. I've tried fiddling with the gas cap to get it to seal better, but I'm also wondering if it's the correct one for the car. Many years ago I had a 1975 and 1973 and don't remember the gas cap looking like this.
