Have you topped off a fuel fill right into the gas inlet? Laz - Thursday, 16 February, 2012, at 2:12:50 pm |

It doesn't take much leak to smell a lot Boxsterra - Thursday, 16 February, 2012, at 3:07:14 pm |
In that case would fuel be washing oil off the cylinder walls? (Thus cause for urgent action.) *NM* Laz - Thursday, 16 February, 2012, at 3:36:32 pm |

Could it be a fuel pump or filter issue? It doesn't take a noticeble leak to smell gas. If it is seeping a bit, most of it will evaporate and you wouldn't see a stain on the garage floor. Older cars, the filter used to be the first thing to check with gas odor.
Might there be some sort of vehicle roll-over fuel cut-off valve that's acting up? *NM* Laz - Thursday, 16 February, 2012, at 4:21:32 pm |
Hey, don't knock that lifetime filter. My 02 Boxster's fuel pump quit at around 200K (or more)... MarcW - Thursday, 16 February, 2012, at 4:26:44 pm |
