After the last autocross, I started getting strong gas fumes inside. The strongest smell came from next to the tank on the fill side with what looks like an overflow leak down the side of the tank. Is it the gasket underneath the numerous bolts that's getting old? How do you know when its shot? Who sells the gasket?
I tightened the bolts down last time I replaced the lines but I think one of the bolts is stripped. Could this be my problem? Any ideas? |

I had the same problem and found that the fuel lines comming out the bottem of the tank were loose. I removed the plate covering the front underside of the car, tightened the nuts holding the fuel lines and the smell went away. Good luck!
