Hi Ho's! Another sunny day. Mowed the front lawn yesterday, so doing the back today. Then its wash cars time. Get the gas cap today and hope that fixes the gas smell.
If it does not.... There are a couple of other things to check next. But that's the start. I would change the cap, air it out, maybe even spray air freshener? I don't know. Fuel smell seems to linger in things, and then close it back up and go sniffing tomorrow. If I recall, the tanks are pressurized. Imagine if you had a different problem... it would be doing
whatever it is under pressure. I buy bad cap seal equals fumes but no drips.
According to the interweb, when that
whatever is the cap, a known issue, it smells in the trunk and the backseat especially.
Heck, maybe it will run better. Who knows.
You know, they will start sending you the paper copies of the catalogs. Those are gold. They have so much info and diagrams. You can get individual engine parts. Everything is by chassis number, so mine is a "W 107" I look at the W 107 section and then look at the other models, too. You really pick up a good mental database of each. (I don't get the Porsche version.)
