I'm the new proud owner of Tom's old track car (914/6 2.4) and I'm getting ready to club race it (SWMS in ABQ NM) and I have a strong gas smell in my garage with it in there and trying to run it down. I know the fuel cell bladder was well inspected and got new foam last year and is using 2 older (pre-2013?) Mallory electric fuel pumps (pics below). I've read the smell can come from them and I'm looking at rebuilding them but cannot tell which model they are and asking if a member recognizes which they are?

I'm only guessing... look like holley low pressure maybe...
but the fuel smell could easily be coming from the carbs. if the car has ran in the garage... then the 4 fuel bowls are full to the carbs... I sometimes drain the bowls. mine will evaporate completely in about 24-36 hours into the atmosphere on my -6 in the garage |

They're Weber 40 IDA3Cs, I have a lot to lean about Webers, not to mention Porsche boxers, are the bowls hard to drain and I'd be interested in some pics of how you painted your car, I might make some changes to mine and looking for ideas... |
