The gas tank builds pressure & Vents into the charc can. Then gets recycled back into the intake. If its not hooked up/Broken/Hooked up improperly it can make the engine bay/interior smell like gas. Should be on the back passenger side, Against the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudosport Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I had a fuel smell a few months back and couldn't find it right away since it came and went. Turns out the injectors were weeping where the plastic and metal body meet. With the heat of the engine the fuel was evaporating quickly but enough to make it smell. Finally noticed it when the engine was cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche32 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 got it figured out 1 injector was leaking slowly and I replaced all the orings just last year. but mechanic said it was a bad injector not the gasket so now its got 1 new injector think il go ahead and replace them all.

Randy in Maine Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I would like to reuse this topic. I have noticed that my charcoal canister has a broken off line. Can a new one be purchased anywhere including the dealer? Would a junkyard one be a waste of money? MIne has over 200K on it and I don't know if it is worth trying to screw in a metal line with threads in there or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I don't think the 1990 and below original canisters are available anymore new. The originals came apart so you could change the filter and charcoal. But you can get new sealed cannisters that work fine. Rock Auto carries them, Standard Parts p/n CP3045.
