Jeff, Did you check the lines going to the overflow tanks in the wheelwells? The braided lines can rot, soak up fuel when full or sloshing around, and then drip or at least evaporate the stuff the exterior is saturated with. 5mm fuel line and worm clamps will do. These are not high-pressure lines. -Karl On Wed, 31 May 2000, Jeff Palmer wrote: > > Hey team, > > I ended up getting a new fuel tank after finding the old one beyond repair. > Now, I still get fumes in the cabin but only when the window is open.
