Hello all,
I have two problems and they may be related???
I noticed from time to time when I come to a stop I smell fuel. It happens at other times but I always notice it the first stop after a partial fill up. Maybe 1/2 full tanks. I assume there is a leak in the tank vent hose or fill hose because the tanks were dropped and fuel lines where replaced less than 5 years. There is no leaking fuel on the ground. So, where should I start looking? Are there other places I should look?
Also, in the past few months, the engine started running on after I turn the ignition off. Are they related? Is there some type of vent recovery system that could be malfunctioning feeding vapors into the engine keeping it running.
BTW, I have a 1976 Eleganza II
thank you all for your help!
