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?

Be patient. It will probably take longer to run the bowls dry than you think it should. You can probably hear your fuel pumps running. Rest assured that if they aren't running when you start the car, that you're just running on the fuel bowls and they will eventually run dry.
