Once again, this is a couple inches higher than the highest point for the factory hose routing.
This fuel would have gone into the Evap Canister.
If you want to stop the gas fumes wrapped the modifold pipes. It will stop the boiling of the gas plus keep it cooler under the plastic. What helped my mpg beside cooling the compartment was changing the air box to a new 12" round air cleaner. Now I have more power at 3K rpms then I did at 4K+ rpms. my mpg went from 20-27 to 28-36 and no more strong smell of gas fumes. RJ :2thumbs:
