I don't know Richard, going through some of the pictures they are a lot of USA cars mixed in there. I even saw My Z in there.

Re: racing parts for Sedans!
I was wondering about the coupes in the pictures - didn't they not
sell those in Japan? Only Sedans? Or am I wrong?

Re: racing parts for Sedans!
They had both and most were 360's. If you check the Big Blue cover Shop
manual you can see the differences in the size of the cars. 360 and 600 and
the 600 for the USA.

Help me find my gas leak
I'm assuming I have a gas leak. My car smells like gas.
When I got my new n600 off of the trailer I noticed that the gas gauge was on E. I drove it down the street to the gas station and topped it off. I don't know why I was expecting an automatic shutoff when the gas nozzle wouldn't even fit in the car too well.
It overflowed and I cleaned it up before my paint was damaged. I assumed this was the source of the gas smell for a few days, but the smell never went away. I then noticed a few drops of gasoline on the driveway.
It also turns out that the gas gauge was not on "E." The gas gauge just does not work.
It started snowing in Utah so I moved the car inside of the garage. Now whenever I open the garage the gas smell hits me. It's not enough to gage me, but it's enough to make me worry.
I don't have a service manual yet, so I'm sort of flying blind on this car until I get it. What are the first things i should check on this car to find the gas leak? Is there a common place? I read online that the gas gauge sending unit needs to be sealed properly in order to prevent leaks. Considering mine does not work I'm thinking that this may be the problem. Is this a good course of action?
As much as I love this car I really don't want to blow up driving it.

Re: Help me find my gas leak

It's probably the filler hose going from the filler neck to the tank (rubber). If you take it off and go to NAPA, they have gas tank hose that you can use to replace it. Cost is a couple of bucks. Mine was rotten. I had the same symptoms. The other possibility is that the tank sending unit is leaking. You can only see this if you pull the tank. On mine, it was actually where the sending wire was riveted to the sending post. I ended up making a new threaded post, and then new teflon seals around the post. (On my sedan, you cannot take the sending wire off the sending unit. It was permanently on there. I assume that there is a wire connector somewhere down from the tank. After I fixed my tank sending unit, I then found that the gas gauge still didn't work because Honda routed the wires right above the muffler. Of course they had burned up and shorted out. I replaced the burned up shorted out section only to find that just where they go inside the body, they ended (like they had been cut). I have yet to run new sending unit wires any further.
If you end up pulling your sending unit, check it with an ohm meter. If it is working, you will see the resistance changing as you vary the float level. If it isn't, email me if you want me to fix it. I am certain I can repair whatever its problem is.
One other thing. While I had the tank off, and the sending unit out, I was somewhat shocked at the amount of crap (dirt and corrosion) inside my tank. I wirebrushed the outside of it, painted it, and it looks great, but inside you cannot do anything. At the suggestion of (Miles?) I got Eastwood's gas tank sealer. I still haven't used it, but I have it. What I did do was get a clear plastic fuel filter and put it where I can see what kind of stuff is coming thru the line. So far, it still looks good. I guess the dirt and stuff stays on the tank bottom and is not an issue. One message on either this board or the ANZ board suggested putting a chain in the sending unit hole and spinning it to clean the tank. DO NOT do this! It will tear the gas feed line out in a heartbeat.
