Well I finally got rid of the gas odor in my 78 Spider. I have been battling this for better part of a year. It wasn't bad at first, more of an annoyance. Although mama banished the car to the driveway. I tried all the usual. Replaced all the fuel hoses in the trunk, the gas cap, filler hose, took apart the vapor canister, changed the sending unit gasket when I put in a new in-tank pump, etc,etc.
It was worse after stop and go driving in town. No bad on the open raod. It finally got bad enough to spot the source. It is the electrical connections on the fuel gague sending unit.
Gasoline and electicity what a great combination.
Replaced the sending unit and all's well, but I don't think I'll ever be allowed in the garage again.
