RE: {Chrysler 300} Shutdown fuel perk



My understanding of percolation is boiling fuel bubbling out into the throttle bores after hot shutdown, flooding the engine and causing a hard hot restart. Is that your experience? 

 

Any pre-emission V8 parked hot in a sealed garage will smell of fuel for several days or as long as it takes for the bowls to dry out.

Subject: {Chrysler 300} Shutdown fuel perk

Hi All,
 
In San Francisco it has never been an issue with fuel perk on shutdown. Too cool 99% of the time. However, at our Winters house, in the Sacramento valley, when I park the car in the garage and close it up, I can smell the gas for a couple of hours.
 
Has anyone had any luck using a something like this:

Thanks, James
 
 
PS, I do plan on sleeving all the steel fuel lines from the frame rail up to the fuel pump and carb at some point. But that will do little for the perk.
