Cracked tank that wasn’t

[Lewis774]

I just put the gas tank back in on the 924s because of suspected crack in the tank. It was pressure tested at the radiator shop and showed no cracks. I replaced some of the hoses and it looked to be the hose from the top of the tank going up to the overflow near the window was the culprit. I nervously filled it up to full with gas, but no fumes yet!
Now the shifter is loose I think because of removal of a lot of the black oily sludge around it. A short shift kit is on the cards for my shelter in place time here in NorCal.
Hope everyone stays well.

Yeah those fuel hoses back there can be a b***h.

Glad it worked out.

It's funny you've mentioned this... My car would always emit gasoline fumes if I filled the tank over 1/2 so I restored the tank/replaced fuel lines, etc. about 4 yrs ago, only to have the issue continue (improved but not totally mitigated). The source of fume release wasn't found until a couple months ago when I decided to clean up all wheel wells and, upon removing the charcoal canister, I found this:

The problem has seemed to disappear since swapping the canister with a spare I had. As a test, I filled the tank over this past weekend and no smell was detected while driving @70 miles. Hope to take her out again this coming weekend!

Your guys' experiences are why I'm replacing mine in one fell swoop. I did the same to my SC. John
