<div style="color:black;font:10pt arial">I just replaced the fuel tank in my 1976 TR6 and after a short drive, I noticed a leak coming from the vent connection on top of the tank. I tightened the nut on the connection, but don't really understand why there would be gas in the vent line. I also noticed that when I opened the fuel cap, there was a hiss like a suction. I feel that either the vent line, which seems open when I blow air through it from the cannister attachment or the carb bowls (ZS 175s) may be too full and there is a vacuum that is pulling fuel out of the bowls. My TR6 does run rich. I don't understand why there would be a vacuum in the tank. Also, I noticed a bit of oil around the oil fill cap which I have never seen before. I checked the oil and the level seems correct. I thought I smelled a bit of gas in it, but that may have been a bit of imagination on my part. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
