[T2] Gas fumes

[John Sheldon]

Thanks for all the comments on my gas odor.  Finally brought it into the shop.  He found that the new fuel pump that I installed last fall had cracked.  The pivot dowel actually was slipping out.

He replaced it was an OEM pump that I was able to find locally in Maryland and the odor now gone.

The resulting leak must have been small enough to not cause a puddle of glass but big enough to weep gas smell...

It's always something

I replaced the 1800 engine on my 74 bus over the winter.  Had someone smarter than I am overhaul the carbureters.  All is tight - no visible leaks but when I put it in the garage after a drive, there is a big time gas smell throughout the garage and you can smell it in the house.  

Could it be from tank ?
