<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">I just replaced the fuel tank in my
1976 TR6 and after a short drive, I noticed a leak coming from the vent
connection on top of the tank. I tightened the nut on the connection, but
don't really understand why there would be gas in the vent line. I also
noticed that when I opened the fuel cap, there was a hiss like a suction.
I feel that either the vent line, which seems open when I blow air through it
from the cannister attachment or the carb bowls (ZS 175s) may be too full and
there is a vacuum that is pulling fuel out of the bowls. My TR6 does run
rich. I don't understand why there would be a vacuum in the tank.
Also, I noticed a bit of oil around the oil fill cap which I have never seen
before. I checked the oil and the level seems correct. I thought I
smelled a bit of gas in it, but that may have been a bit of imagination on my
part. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
