I have a complete aeromotive fuel system on my car with braided stainless lines running the entire length of the car. My lines stink of fuel and stink my garage up so bad. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone make or buy metal lines?

Absent leaks, any chance the venting system isn't sealed (or isn't a closed loop anymore)?

As HISSIN50 has said, is the carbon canister and purge valve solenoid present and operational?


Charcoal canister plumbing - one 3/8" tube from the bottom of the upper manifold to the rubber hose. Rubber hose connects to one side of the canister solenoid valve. Other side of the solenoid valve connects to one side of the canister. The other side of the canister connects to a rubber hose that connects to a line that goes all the way back to the gas tank. There is an electrical connector coming from the passenger side injector harness near #1 injector that plugs into the canister solenoid valve. It's purpose is to vent the gas tank. The solenoid valve opens at cruse to provide some extra fuel.



It does not weigh but a pound or so and helps richen up the cruse mixture. It draws no HP & keeps the car from smelling like gasoline in a closed garage. So with all these good things and no bad ones, why not hook it up & use it?
