MTSuby Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well, if it's not one thing it's another lately it seems like... When I've first started my car, if I then, right away, go down a steep hill, I smell gas. Could this just be my carb, or (hopefully not) a rusting gas tank...I've really only noticed it if I go down a hill right after I start it up, it doesn't seem to happen if it's been warm for a while, but maybe I need to experiment a little more..

DaveAP Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hi, I once had a raw gas smell in my gen one brat. I couldn't figure it out until I noticed a drip developing in right rear wheel well (say that fast five times) It was gas. It's been some time since then, but it seems that it was a evap hose tied into the fuel system. I pulled it out and let it daylight. It had been building up a small amount of gas in the panel, and bugged the hell out of me. No more smell, good luck. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Could be as simple as a buggy evap canister or evap hoses (especially if it is only at startup). nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
