I have a smell of fuel in the garage from my resently restored TR3A (1000 miles on restoration). Everything in the powertrain/fuel system is new from the tank to the carbs. I've checked everywhere for any sign of gas leakage without success. I've pulled the tank out (new tank) and checked both the drain and fuel line ports. No gas is coming from the rebuilt carbs or the fuel line connectors. It does have a Moss aftermarket fuel pump (with primer lever) that came with a input fuel line adapter built in to match the fuel line threading. I've tightened and sealed all the connections. The only idea I keep coming up with is the new Moss fuel cap, but have no reason to think it isn't sealing fine. I am 'losing' fuel if it sits for a long time but nothing showing leakage anywhere. I had thought that it was losing more fuel when the tank was full but can't swear to it. It's a mystery. I've been rebuilding Triumphs, MGs and other cars for years and this is the first time with this problem. Any ideas? Pat
