Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas.  I replaced the rubber line over the 
wheel when I bought the car.  I removed the brass filters in the carbs and 
put an inline filter in place of the rubber hose.  I was told the car sat 
for six months prior to my purchasing it.  It appears that it hasn't been 
driven much in the past couple of years.  As far as possible pinholes in 
the rubber hose attaching to the tank I have no pooling or smell of gas in 
my garage.  I have a new sending unit so I will replace the whole unit and 
see if that remedies anything.  Is there any harm in not using the fuel sock?
