The filler orientation thread got me thinking.
I get gas bad gas vapour smells in the cockpit sometimes - particularly aft=
er a fill-up. =C2=A0=C2=A0gas tank was removed and rad shop cleaned and ins=
ide tank coated a number of years ago.=C2=A0 Installed a new rubber filler =
tube at the time.
Ideas or experience on how to fix the bad smells?
Thank you,
Bruce Simms 73 TR6

I believe I responded to this yesterday but to elaborate I will add the fol=
lowing:
Below is a snippet from the Roadster Factory catalog showing the emissions =
control system.
=20
Check the placement of the hose clamps on the filler hose.=C2=A0 I messed m=
ine up and had a terrible smell of petrol.=C2=A0 It is easy to put the clam=
ps in the wrong position where they will not properly seal off the connecti=
on.=C2=A0=20

When that checks out have a close look at the connection to the charcoal ca=
nister.=C2=A0 The connections to the plastic tubing are made with fuel hose=
.=C2=A0 Old fuel hose becomes brittle and will not seal properly and can pu=
ll off easily and this could cause your problem.=C2=A0 As can be seen, ther=
e is a port on the top of the tank.=C2=A0 This is connected to a fuel/vapor=
 separator (AS1) which in turn is connected to the plastic line leading to =
the charcoal canister.=C2=A0 A breach at any point along this route can cau=
se the problem you describe.
Good luck.
