Re: Gas Odor In The Garage - 1966 TR4A

[Mike Thompson <miket@urgrgcc.edu>]

Hi Tom,

I had the same problem with a 59 TR3. First problem was a rusty fuel 
line, which I replaced with a new copper line. (lets not start that 
thread again) After that was fixed I still had a gas odor. One day while 
washing it outside I smelled gas at the right rear tire, that's where 
the tank vent is. Maybe I did a bad thing, but I put a piece of foam in 
the vent pipe. Enough to let some air in to replace the gas used but it 
closed it enough to keep it from just wafting out of the tank. Now I 
have a garage that only smells of oil and carb cleaner.
