Re: [T3] Fumes


The smell of raw gas is noticeable different than exhaust fumes.  Make sure you
look for gas line leaks while running or immediately after shut down.  The gas
will evaporate quickly and hide the leak.  I had an exhaust smell inside the car
before rebuilding the carbs.  My mileage was down to 17-18 mpg and the car was
running really rich.  I still haven't replaced the rear hatch seal because the
smell left after the rebuild.
