Morning,
I think its finally time to address the fuel smell on my 72. I pulled the tank last night and it looks like the tank was probably replaced at some point as it is near perfect. I ordered new stainless tunnel lines from Chris Foley as well as new hoses and clamps for both ends. My question is venting. There is literally no hoses left in the frunk. It looks like the 3mm lines should all tee together and tie to the charcoal canister. So 2 ports on the expansion tank, 1 port on the filler neck and the then the canister. Is this right? If so then I should need 2 tee's. The overflow hose looks like it is currently NA, 914 rubber is out of stock as are other vendors. Has anyone used 3/4" clear poly tubing in its place? Lastly after I hookup the canister does anyone offer a clean looking solution to tie the suction side into IDF air filters? Thanks. |

Everything you say makes sense, i agree with newer ethanol fuel evaporating at a higher rate than real 100% gas. I am hoping by replacing all lines and hooking the system up as designed I can greatly minimize the smell. What drove this is the tank -> line hoses were degraded creating a horrible smell while driving. Just found CSP makes some nice aluminum filters housings that have cast boss that is threaded for a breather. I think it would be pretty clean to use banjo fittings and run evap to passenger side and crankcase to the drivers side. All of the fitting are available from Belmetric, adds up in money. Buy once cry once. Dan |
