Re: Help me eliminate strong fuel vapors in garage

Thanks all, I’ll be sure to brake the hardline connect at the tank before replacing the soft lines.

One thing I do notice is that the rubber pass-thru grommets on the valve cover are badly worn (these are the inlets of the air tubes off the carb). Can those lead to a strong gas smell as well?

Sure, definitely replace those, they're well overdue. Careful, don't wanna' drop a piece in your valves. If I were you I'd replace all fuel, vapor, and vacuum hose. Short perhaps A/C hose through the cab.
