[Healeys] Healey Fuel Injection

[John Harper]

Bob

All I say is that unless we can go back to less volatile fuel here in 
the UK or insulate the pump and pipes over the exhaust pipe, then 
vaporised fuel as a gas has to come out of the carburettor overflow 
vents. This creates a smell. I agree that this is potentially dangerous 
and the only saving grace on a 100 with an 'M' style airbox is that 
these overflow fumes are drawn back into the engine.
