fuel tank breather

I remember my first Capri had the fuel smell inside the car itself! Good thing I am a non-smoker.

Capri fuel tanks are known to sometimes weep fuel through the join. It won't necessarily be as obvious as fuel dripping out. But if your boot lid is closed and you can still smell fuel, then it may just be the breather.

ive checked nearly all i can no real fuel smell in boot or inside the car more from the breather hose just seems to be a bit strong ill try another cap if i can find one
 
do these capri's have a vent hole on the fuel caps ??? 
 
might see if i can fit a fuel vapour canister on it from some other car if it doesnt stop

it doesnt smell in the cabin or boot just outside of car more from the breather pipr thay comes our next to fuel line there is a breather pipe just seem to be a bit excessive fuel smell there are no leaks  on fuel lines ,,,
 
could justbe wrong type fuel cap ...all i can think of is once the fuel cap is tight only place vapour can come out is that breather and having the wrong cap might not allow the vapour to come out of the cap as well as breather ..
 
ill be running fuel pump tomorrow abd re check again for leaks
 

All I can think of is a blockage some where. Maybe a kink in a pipe etc. With the heat of the day quite high you have pressure building in the tank which is forcing the fumes out like leaving a fuel can in the sun. Do you always have the smell or only when it's hot outside?

sometimes i smell fumes at all times
 
i know  from top of tank where the breather line hose joins to top of tank to out under the car its not blocked its clear
 
ill try blowing it back up from breather to tank
 
unless its just low fuel maybe 6 odd ltrs in it and might be just heap of  vapour build up from low fuel
 
doesnt really smell near fuel cap more so from under the car where the breather pipe exits thru the boot and you smell it when passing down drivers side stick ya nose down near wheel well and its stronger cant smell it in boot or inside car
 
i know the hose comes out of the top of fuel tank goes to pipe that loops around a bit on fuel neck under parcel tray then back into a hose down and out along side fuel line and out under next to chassis rail
 
looks like garden hose was dried out so i replaced it with similar hose im going to take it off and try proper fuel hose if i can find proper 10 -12mm fuel hose
