i first noticed this when i bought the car. and has been intermittent. usually noticed it after high revs for long periods or aftr filling up at agas station that does water it down. the smell is strong enough now that i notice getting light headed at times...bad very bad. Also mostly after i put a whole ten gallons in it. I messed with the fuel level sending unit. tightend them bolts down. didn't notice it untill the next day. I had alot less fuel. I've looked under the car for stains etc. noindication sept for near the fuel pump and lines side of the tank thats seems to have darked dust. Usually a sign of a leak.

The evap can was not even properly attached to the car. just hanging by the lines. when i first came across the car. I sometimes get a smell of old gas something like the smell of it after its burnt... So i'm thinking there is some line losse from the canister. I have checked the lines from the fuel pump.. all are tight. not cracked. I'll take a better look tommaro.

Hayes manuals recently have very little info in them to address any problem correctly.

I would need to know what lines go where to and from evap can. and then from evap to fuel pump and tank. I'll take a better look this mornin and see if anything is off to my untrained eyes.

I have read various related threads on this site. none have recent diagrams etc.:banghead: posted by  pazsion
