I have a 1970 (mostly) MGB with what appears to be a vapor
canister in the right rear of the boot. And I have the
strong aroma of gas when driving, but no obvious leaks. I
haven't dropped the tank yet, and I suspect rust through on
the top. Last rear, when parked with a full tank on a slope
nosed down I got a gas spill. (On my asphalt driveway, big
hole.) I attributed the leak to fuel pump fittings, but
that wasn't conclusive.
Questions:
1. Where does the vent line from the canister go to? I'm
hoping against hope that my problem is there.
2. Are there any significant issues with going to a
non-vented tank from an earlier car? Anything other than a
vented cap that would have to be added?
If it's not a problem, could anyone who might reply copy it
to my email address? I subscribe to the digest, so I won't
see the list replies right away.
