gas smell?

[aaros]

on a full tank i can smell fuel until i get to about 3/4 tank, could it be leaking around a cracked filler neck gasket or is it more dire than that? stinky

do you see leaks? if the tank grommet went, you should see a leak. in any case, i consider gas leaks dire in any case. be careful and fix it before driving it.

good luck.

no cant see any leaks and only smell it every so often thats why i think its the gasket. a little bit of sloshing gas spilling out when the tank is full

I have the same problem with my tank, a 1/2 to full I can smell it. On hard acceleration and turns its very strong. I replaced the gasket but it didnt fix it. Theres no holes in the tank either. I cant figure it out either.....

seems to me that they make a dye that one can introduce into the tank and then watch it (with a black light) to see where it is coming from. the tanks can leak at their seams, at the sending unit, pump mount, etc.

a charcoal cannister can crack, but it would not be fuel level dependant that i can figure.
good luck with it.
