Well I've got this killer gas smell, and I think I know where it is coming from, I'm just not sure the best way to fix it. Under the driver's side fender is this black box. I believe it is one of the charcoal canisters or something. I have often heard folks recommend removing this, as it should be all rusty. Mine is actually quite solid, so I figured I should leave it. I believe there is a small outlet tube coming out the back of it. There is also a skinny steel tube running up the fender. It falls short of going into this canister. I think gas fumes are coming out here. I imagine there should be a bit of fuel hose connecting these, but I wanted to check with the list. I did a quick check of the Bentley, and didn't see any mention of this thing in the fuel section. Is it it the Bentley, and if so, where would I find it? Thanks for any suggestions. -Kevin '71 FI squareback '65 kombi somerville, ma ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
