93 a/c issue

[Jay P]

 Thanks James, I'll check out the filler tube next weekend and hope that if that's the problem, I can find a replacement somewhere.  It's getting harder and harder to find parts for B13s.

 Check your filler tube to the gas tank. It can rust, especially near the top where it attaches to the body. It's a known rust area. I bought an extra about 15 years ago, just in case.

Just recently got my '93 SE-R out of storage and back on the road after several years. Did a ton of maintenance stuff, new tires etc and also replaced the dead A/C compressor and recharged the system. It works great for the first few minutes after I leave the garage but then the car just gets warmer and warmer. When the compressor kicks on it starts cooling really well but it only runs for about 7 seconds and then shuts off for about a minute, then runs another 7 seconds and stops, over and over. So it never runs long enough to make a difference.
I've looked online but get conflicting info - it's overcharged, it's undercharged, the compressor clutch is bad, etc....I'm not sure what to believe.
I also keep getting a gas smell in my garage, the SE-R is the only car in there, nothing else that could make the smell.  The Nissan dealer pressure tested the system and said there are no leaks.  I don't know why it keeps happening.
Any advice is appreciated!
