Question 1967 Camaro - fuel smell
Hey guys/gals... I just bought a '67 Camaro... LOVE IT. One problem, I stink like fuel after I drive the car... any thoughts on what would cause that and how to fix it??

Thank-you very much for the help,
Jensen

Most likely a fuel leak somewhere, or a maladjusted carb, or the engine is misfiring. A fuel leak can result in a fire, and gasoline fumes can make you sick.

Mine was running crazy rich and I always smelled like gas. I put in some smaller jets on the cars and it is much better now.
