After sitting overnight with the windows up I recently detected a faint gas smell inside the car. Everything looks dry topside in the front trunk, nothing wet or excessively gassy under the dash, and under the car is dry. Any ideas where to look? I have no idea if the gas line has ever been replaced and wouldn't know how to do it. Any suggestions would be great.
Loving my summer daily driver in Montana. |

Probably time to replace the plastic fuel lines in the tunnel and also any soft fuel lines in the engine bay and on the fuel tank. Also check the gas cap gasket. I got stainless lines for the tunnel from Tangerine Racing.
