All,
I have been checking out SRL311-13951 and have been pretty happy with it.
When I picked it up it had a piece of junk hard top on it that the PO threw
in. Upon driving it home (About 65 miles) I noticed a strong gasoline smell
and I got TERRIBLE gas mileage. I felt for sure I had a fuel leak somewhere.
Upon arriving home, I checked for one but could not find it.
I then checked out the gas cap, and it was shot. Rusty. Locking pin broken
off. I have no idea if it is sealing or not or if it would cause the strong
gasoline smell I noticed. I replaced the gas cap with the one off of my 67
and it gets much better mielage. Still not good, but this car needs a MAJOR
tune up. The car is idling at 1400 RPM.
I have heard some issues about "vapor lock" as it pertains to gas caps. Any
input would be appreciated.
