[Healeys] Fuel odors

[Len and/or Marge Hartnett]

One item that I have mentioned before but has not been addressed in this 
thread is the area around the fuel sending unit.  The sending unit is 
recessed in the top of the gas tank.  If you fill your gas tank and the 
sending unit is not adequately sealed, fuel can seep past the bolts and/or 
gaskets and fill this recessed area.  Only after consuming enough gas from 
the tank will the fuel level get below the sending unit and the gas smell go 
away - until the next fill.
