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.

I appreciate everyone's patience with my newbie learning process.
I now realize that not only am I missing the charcoal canister, I'm missing the expansion tank! How would you proceed if you were me? A part of me wants to restore the whole system, but I don't know if the charcoal canister would function without the original connection to the air cleaner, and my car has carbs. Another mystery is why I wasn't smelling any gasoline until the first time I refueled. |
