Hey guys
I have something like a weird fuel problem with my '74 Fury. According to owners manuel the gas tank capacity of this car is about 27 gallons and I always fill it up
The problem is that I think the fuel is disappearing, all fuels in my country has between 10% - 15% ethanol content which is something like 4 gallons of ethanol per each full gas tank (27 gallons) so is normal that sometimes some of that ethanol evaporates. The deal here is that If I left the car sitting in the garage I can see the fuel gauge come down 1/8 per each 3 - 4 days, that is about loosing 4 gallons of gas each 5 days that the car is sitting
I don't know if I'm a bit confused or what's going on here. I've checked for fuel leaks in garage floor or trying to find any weat fuel line but everything seems to be fine, the unique strange issue that I've noticed is that sometimes after driving the car I can see the gas in fuel filter boiling but I don't know if is really boiling because I don't feel it boiling inside the carb
The gasket on my fuel cap is gone, can this be causing this problem?
What else can I check?
