Last night I began draining the fuel tank to prepare for my Dad and I to drop the tank and replace all of the 40+ year old vent hoses (many of which I know are rotten). The should hopefully reduce the smell of gas in the car as well as when the car is parked in the garage.
The interesting thing is that Datsun (Nissan) decided to use every size of hose for the venting system. Should be fun, I hope to get pictures up as the project progresses.

27-Aug-2012 update: I put 3 gallons of gas into the car and it started right up without any leaks. I now need to fill it up completely to test the rest of the vent hoses for leaks.
Here are some great pictures for reference that I've run across on the web:
