Gas Smell??

Endgame · 08-17-2011, 07:20 PM

So, after having some fun with my car today, I park in the garage and when I walk around the passenger side, I smell a faint gas smell. I track it to the area near the gas tank. I crawl under the car and look around, but do not see any sign of leaks or anything.

This is the first time I have noticed this. Should I be concerned??

Sure its not just exhaust gasses following the drift of the car into the garage??

You busy this Sunday? Phoenix Area cruise to Payson/Prescott if you wanna come.

I'd double check the gas cap to make sure its on tight, sounds like some gas spilled thru the filler.
If it happens again just driving normally? I'd have it checked.

Chris! Whats up bro!?! I have been very scarce lately as I have been very very busy. Well, it was not quite a drfit into the garage, but close! It was not from the exahaust, I checked that.

Triple's, I guess it could have been the gas cap was not tight as the smell was in there also. I did take her our for a quick trip later that evening and had no issue, so maybe you are right... I will keep monitoring it.

Chris - thanks for keeping me in the loop. I probally cannot make it as my weekends are busier than my weekdays. What time is the group heading out?

Yeah, I can't make that. I have to be at a weekend meeting at 10am...

Have fun man.... I need to look at your profile and see what you have done with your ride....

I get this at every stop I make. It's stronger when you have test pipes.
