99 XK8 - Gas Smell
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
This was the first good spring day to take a long top down drive and we both smelled gas as we were driving. (I did just fill up tank last week). Is there any known reason for the car to be smelling like gas more than usual? I checked the vent tube opening in filler door and it was clear. Only 36,000 miles and all issues (so far) have been repaired or replaced.
Any ideas?

I drove the car probably 70 miles yesterday and when I returned the garage smelled of something. My wife says gasoline but I tend to think it is not pure gas I am smelling. A "chemical smell" of some kind. This morning I took everything out of trunk and check fuel lines and drainage. The truck area is completely dry. The hydraulic hoses and pump are dry and full. I then raised the hood and other than the tiniest leak on the VFT o-ring, everything is dry. I checked coolant, it is full.
Other ideas???
