I've been taking my 914 on curvy roads in the North Georgia mountains to check out some recent suspension upgrades. Yesterday, I had the top off and the windows down and noticed a raw gas smell that only happened on the hard corners. Cruising down the highway and there wasn't any smell. Anyone else have this happen? Any thoughts as to what this is? Or maybe it's normal thing when the gas tank is kind of right under your nose.

QUOTE(toolguy @ Sep 19 2014, 11:53 AM)  Check the seal between the expansion tank and the tank. . has the little bolts under the gas cap holding it on. . In the past I have had leakage from this rubber gasket. Tightening all of the bolts uniformly solved the problem. Access is to the bolts is pretty tight. Be patient. |
