Re: I smell GAS!!

When I replaced the tank I replaced everything up to the fuel pump, sending unit and grommet, fuel line, filler neck grommet and the filler cap all because the tank was naaasty! I had to clean the fuel filter at the carb once a week so the engine could get enough fuel to run. I didn't smell gas before the tank swap but that could be because there were two 1/8 inch holes drilled in the filler neck outside the cab either to vent the tank or because there was a chain at one point attached to the cap so it wasn't forgotten. The new cap is locking but I haven't pulled the cap off when I could smell gas in the truck. I'll pull it off tomorrow afternoon and see what happens.
