[DeTomaso] Gas tank breather

[B Hower]

FWIW -------- The overflow is located on the tank at a lower level than the filler neck peak fill point, Thus it would appear to me that an over fill on a 1972 OEM set up would dump some raw gas into the charcoal can. And without the charcoal can it will run onto the ground if allowed to. Just MHO.

All non-cat cars smell more than cars with cats.  But yours might smell more than most.  It's hard to quantify over e-mail.

If you run your hose through a , it should cut the smell.  I don't think I would run it to the ground.

You might even consider running it to your air filter.

You also want to check where the rollover valve attaches.  It could be venting vapors there.
