Re: [DML] gas smell

I had a similiar problem with a gas smell and DMCH advised me to look under the rubber boot covering the fuel pump. When I removed the cover there was gasoline standing on top of the fuel pump due to a faulty fuel return hose connection. I fixed the connection and that ended the smell.
