I'm not sure if the 73 has vapor return lines but if it does, hopefully this
is your problem. They can look fine yet be cracked and leak gas. If your
tank leaked I doubt you would get gas in the trunk though I could be wrong.
Check all rubber hoses from the tank carefully.

OK,
Yes I have a gas leak. It is in the back of my 73 BGT. I filled up today
and
the fumes were very bad. got home and looked by spare tire and there is a
little puddle by the filler tube and in right fender. My questions are:
1) does the vapor canister in right rear fender supposed to have any
charcoal
in it like the one in front? When I knock on it it sounds empty.
2) How difficult is it to change out the gas tank? I just changed leaf
springs so is it much harder than that?
Any other help or suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks
