[DML] Re: Still have Gas Smell (Need Advice)

["Duke Bladorn" <at88mph@xxxx>]

Ross,


Did you check the gasket that goes to the fuel sending unit? That's where
mine was coming from. To tell if its coming from the top of the fuel tank
area, just before you have to fill up, remove the spare tire and the fuel
tank cover so you can see the sending unit and fuel pump hoses. Fill the
car up as normal and watch this area for spills once you top it off. If its
up in that area, you'll see it.

Hope this helps,


Duke
