<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.&nbsp; I tightened the nut on the connection, but 
don't really understand why there would be gas in the vent line.&nbsp; I also 
noticed that when I opened the fuel cap, there was a hiss like a suction.&nbsp; 
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.&nbsp; My TR6 does run 
rich.&nbsp; I don't understand why there would be a vacuum in the tank.&nbsp; 
Also, I noticed a bit of oil around the oil fill cap which I have never seen 
before.&nbsp; I checked the oil and the level seems correct.&nbsp; I thought I 
smelled a bit of gas in it, but that may have been a bit of imagination on my
