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.

As you may not have the charcoal canister installed, cap the small nipple wth a piece of line and a plug of some sort. A small shouldered bolt should suffice. The nipple as pictured is a open window for gas fumes.
