AE86 Smells like shit!

Anyone else have this problem? I'm choking on gas fumes!!
I think its coming from the hatch, but my gas tank looks solid with no holes or nothing!

Well there is that old car AE86 smell that both my AE86's had. I think the scent was the result of smoking, sweat, seat absorbed farts, mold under the carpets and many other things.

Then I got garage smelling like dirty old engine parts when ever my car was in there.

Do you get a fuel leak everytime you fill up the tank?

Check it again, check the seal around the middle of the tank, if its not there it could be your filler neck.

I got a leak and it smells like gas all the time, especially after fill up (even though I only put in $8 at a time) or accelleration. even my close are beginning to smell like gas, I need to get this fixed asap.

check for holes in the chassis beside the gas tank

almost every ae86 develops some rust holes on the inside of the quarter panels, right along side the muffler on the drivers side, and the gas tank on the passenger side.

You can either crawl under the car and have a look or pull the interior panels off and look for dirt and crap on the inside of the panels, if their are no holes it will be spotless. Usually the interior panels will do a pretty good job of keeping the fumes out of the cabin, sometimes they don't.

This is the only spot on my western chassis that needs a little work, I've had one side welded up, now I've got to do the otherside.

toyota fuel filter + brackets = $40
