[urq] Fuel tank vent

[Mike Del Tergo]

Interesting.  I've never experienced fuel smell after periods of inactivity, but since day one I would get fuel vapors in the cabin if I cracked the sunroof open while under way.  I'm am going to replace that braided hose ASAP. On place where I have had minor seepage over the years is the fuel filler inlet neck and the short piece of hose that runs from the inlet neck to the tank.  probably due to the fiddling to federalize my gray market car, the two hard bits do not line up exactly and it makes getting a good hose clamp seal difficult and sometimes I will see ever so slight fuel moisture wicking past the hose on the tank side of the connection.  I'd guess some constant torque clamps are in order.
