I recently arranged to store my 66 327/300 at a neighbor's house as we downsized to a 2 car garage when we moved to Oregon. She has been complaining of the gas fumes.
I guess I just learned to live with it when it was garaged in our 3 car garage in Georgia.
A search of the archives revealed it is the nature of the beast made worse by today's E10 fuels. But I have a few questions that I could not find in the archives.
1 It appears to me the vented fuel cap releases fumes thru the tank overflow tube. Couldn't this be plugged while in storage to minimize the smell? I noticed the rubber gasket on the cap is pretty hard but since the cap vents the fumes anyway I would think a better seal at the tank neck isn't going to help minimize fumes.
2 Is there any absorbant material than will minimize the odors like cat litter, baking soda, etc?
FYI I have the stock 3367 Holly carb which I understand is vented.
