Before I invested in a canister I think I'd let it rest a bit to clear any fumes from filling, then do a fitting by fitting sniff test underneath the car. It may not be enough to drip, but enough to stink. To work right the canister collects fumes from fills, temp changes, etc, etc, absorbing into the activated charcoal, then needs a purge solenoid to pull clean air through the charcoal into the engine to keep the charcoal active. A canister alone will lose it's magic without purge, I believe.

The car's looking wicked good, BTW! You've done an amazing job with it from raw materials to a fantastic period gasser.

Thanks for the help Roger, I've checked every fitting and they are all good.

Sorry for late reply Roger but been out, it rises from the tank about 12" and then back through the floor.
