I find that if I park the car with a nearly full tank of fuel there is dramatically less smell in the garage.
I find it to be the opposite in my garage:shrug: ....
I wonder how effective the roll over breathers work for expanding fuel. Common sense tells me they only work with a surge and not with a gradual raise in fuel level due to expansion.
I am really surprised that this thread has such long legs. My SPF is #2117 which is a relatively low number. I have NEVER had issues with fuel surging, fuel smell in cockpit or garage, and my gas caps lock just fine, although I always leave them in the unlocked position so I'm not fumbling with keys when doing a fillup. My car is carbureted.
I also never had any crud in my fuel tank as some lower # owners have previously reported. I don't know, maybe my builder addressed these issues in the original build.
My wife complained about my CAV giving fuel smell in our attached garage. To keep peace in the family I made an easy fix!!!! I stored the CAV in a storage unit about one mile down the road from my house.
Problem solved except I couldn't sleep in my garage and caress it all night and stand and stare at it all day. I think these cars are more attractive then a young beautiful woman.
Good luck,
JOSEPH
The great thing about a 40 is that it will keep it's curves longer than any beautiful woman and will never have a headache or not be in the mood.

or not be in the mood.

I beg to differ... Search on this forum and you will find enough 40's that have not been in the mood. The difference is that the 40 doesn't say "no" or "I am tired", it simply gives unmistakable clues such as:
- loud metallic noises
- no noises
- incontinence
- smoke from areas other than the exhaust
- steam
- etc.
I am really surprised that this thread has such long legs.
Dimi, she's right there. She can hear you!
