I have recently acquired my first 4g63 powered car and have been loving it. But there’s been a gas smell coming from the trunk that I can’t find the cause of, I checked the lines and no visible leaks and the gasket for the fuel pump looks fine so I’m kinda stumped, the car doesn’t have a charcoal canister but it seems like it’s coming from the interior of the car

Regarding the post on the fuel smell, are all your hoses connected, no open lines? Was the canister removed from the car you are saying, or was it never there?

There is an open line under the car where I’m assuming the charcoal canister was originally but the smell seems the strongest when I open the trunk, I might try and get a generic charcoal canister today and hook it up and see if it helps.
