My 91 Convertible has a very slight & persistent odor in the trunk area.....my wife with her superpower of smell insists it is gasoline. I don't have her level of ability, but I can smell something back there.
A few years back I installed a new WALBRO pump along with the O-ring, both new. I might well have installed the check valve which was on the supply line. Recently I have replaced both bumpers with a couple of survivors I sourced (seller is a member here), and I noticed what looked like fuel stains on the bottom of the black plastic tank. Washed everything clean with kerosene and I don't see any serious cracks, just some light scratches.
Is there any history of fuel tank failure on our cars? Or is it exclusively from the penetrations on the top side (pump access).
Appreciate any experiences shared in this thread.
