I was just thinking about this horrible experience I had with my 94
firebird....I had mounted some amps to the "hump" in the trunk not having
any idea the gas tank was right under there when I drove home and parked it
the next day the smell would knok you right down...frantic I brought it to
the dealer only to find one of the screws punctured the top of the tank...of
course the stealer was all to happy to toss all my stuff back in the trunk
and force me to fix my own tank (just being a kid I guess) the hole was just
a small drywall screw but MAN did it stink.i tried to let it go but after 2
days I had that tank down and was mixing the old stnd by JB weld...ahhh the
days of our youth....
Maybe the older cars dont work the same way, cause im sure something is
leaking on this car somewhere...cant help it :(

Hey Joe said "Now unless you plan on driving inverted, a slight leak at
the top is no
big deal."
But a slight leak will cause a STRONG fuel odor if parked in your garage
over
night because the vapor still escapes even if the fuel itself
doesnt......just
wanted to toss that out...
