...to be getting a fairly strong fuel smell in the frunk? I can smell it pretty good in the garage. Having the car inspected Friday but just wondering if this is typical. Thanks!

It's concerning when you get that strong gas smell in the garage. When I bought my car it of course had Webers on it- no gas leaks. Despite that, my wife complained about the gas smell. Now with the Motronic injection you smell nothing. Much better:).
Despite the cars being the same, she never complained about my 2nd Six, Webers again, and parked in the garage. My theory is we were just so used to smelling gasoline in the garage back then- in the mid 80's it never became an issue. I don't know if the gas is a much different blend now and thus much more gas smell or not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
