But what would that have to do with air coming in through the vents? I filled up the tank again, and now it doesn't smell anymore. hmm FYI, the D and the Ricer part both had carbon cannisters, but my car doesn't have either system. heh heh. First, I plugged the tank vent hose with a bolt, which "solved" that problem. In working with and getting the engine to work right, the gas got hot enough and caused enough pressure in the tank to pop off the fuel boot. My "solution" to that problem was to pull the plug on the tank vent. So, short story long, the vent IS to atmosphere. Still so, I can't see how that would really make it into the interior. Or why the problem would not be consistent. I imagine I'm losing gas (and mileage) out of that tube. I've considered making a replacement with either a pressure activated vent or a very small hose to vent pressure but not much fumes. Granted, these are both horrible solutions, and finding a way to keep the fuel boot on is the best solution. If anyone has any ideas there, send them along.
