I cant smell anything from the engine compartment.. but when I am driving along I smell gas. Not real strong, but its there. Most notably when I am accelerating along the road. Sitting idle, I get nothing.
It _seems_ like its coming from the exhaust. Is that possible? what does it mean? Any dangers? Thanks, david |
