I have a 1979 vette. It sat in my garage for a few years, was not drove.
Carb needed to be rebuilt, I decided to buy a new one. When I took the gas line off of the old one, gas sprayed out. Took the gas cap off and released the pressure from the gas tank, it stopped. Never really thought much about it.
The carb was off the car for a couple days. Came home from work one day and smelled gas when I pulled in...Gas smell even in the house...Went out in the garage, the gas line was dripping gas....a bunch of gas, was all over the floor under the car. I again took the gas cap off and released some pressure, it stopped...
Is this normal?? Is there a vent on the gas tank some place that may be stopped up??? Maybe bad gas cap???
New carb is installed, car is running fine, but this just bothers me a bit.
Thanks!!! Roger
