I'll apologize to the forum in advance if this is an old topic. I'm a new member and still learning how to navigate. I just bought a euro spec 73 GTV at an auction and am so happy they've asked me to leave the building. The only problem is the overwhelming gas fumes coming from the trunk area.
There was a rubber tube running from the overflow on the filler neck through a hole in the truck floor. After removing the truck mats and the foam thingie over the sender, I found a tubing elbow with a plugged rubber tube attached. The plug was removed and the tube from the filler neck was attached to the tank.
Further inspection reveals that the tank is from a 74 GTV (Spica?). I understand that the F.I. models did not have a vented tank. True?
At this point, I still have strong gas fumes immanating from the trunk area. Any opinions out there?
Best,
