oo oo that smell
I've been smelling fuel when lately when I've been getting back into the car after running errands/running the tercel. Ideas?
Re: oo oo that smell
Leaks? Look for obvious ones.
Check your oil for a gassy smell. Fuel pump dying off.
Check your firewall for a semi-fresh oil slick right behind the fuel pump. Pump dying off.
Look for carb weeping out its gaskets.

Re: oo oo that smell
look at all the fuel lines, especially where it could drip on the exhaust manifold. Best find the source, it could be a safety hazard. There is a diaphragm just behind the throttle bell-crank that sometimes weeps a little bit onto the heat shield causing the smell. Mine does that, but it is never very much, more a nuisance then a hazard.

2 places I've seen leaks:
* the large tube going to-from the canister being "melted"
* gasket in the carb...tighten screws?

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

Also could be where fill pipe enters gas tank. I've seen them rotted out there.
