Stop by for breakfast this Saturday at 435 and State Line at Waids and ask for Karl. He can track it down for you. 7:30ish. You can't miss all the Porsche's in the parking lot.

I finally got the parts I needed to complete this "fix" I replaced the fuel level sender gasket, gas cap gasket, and the some of the fuel hoses by the filler neck. I was not able to replace all of them because I couldn't find the routing for them. I replaced the hoses going to the plastic expansion tank. Dropping the tank may have been needed to replace all of them.
I will say getting the fuel hose that connects to the exit of the plastic tank is a PIA. I ended up not being able to use fuel injection hose and instead used some Motorcycle fuel line. Since the hose was two different sizes on each end. I filled my tank completely(haven't done in a while) and there were no smells at all (minus the RTV curing). I actually got to drive the car around for a while.
Every time I think about getting rid of this car, I go for a drive and just love it that much more.
