Gas fumes inside Avanti

[IndyJimW]

My ’87 Avanti has a gas smell inside the car after filling the fuel tank. I removed the gas tank to make repairs and found stains from fuel on the top of the tank at the fuel inlet. Seeing nothing wrong with the hose, I took the tank to have it tested. The solder was bad around the fuel inlets under side and around the fuel return pipe. I’m replacing the hoses but if I didn’t have the tank tested and repaired I would have had the same problem.

Here is a picture of the fuel inlet, the area where the flash shines is where the leak was.
