After reading Vysoc's thread re: chasing a gas smell, I thought that I would offer up this solution to local teeners. I have a gas sniffer that will locate any combustible gas leak as small as 3 parts per million. Yes, it will pick up a fart so it can't be used at poke.gif Ron's shop. av-943.gif lol-2.gif It only takes seconds to locate a leak. I'm in the Temecula area. You could stop by most weekends or join us on a Dawn Patrol run and I'll bring it with.

While I am in the mountains and you are in the flatlands, my flatus should reach you in far greater quantities than 3 ppm. icon8.gif

The AQMD has a special alert for me.

Mine stinks of gas on left hand turns when I have more than half a tank of gas. I think it's the gas cap gasket but I'm not sure...

PM me. I'll bring it to the Palomar run in June. Bring the car w < 1/2 tank. It's easier to find the source if the immediate area isn't saturated.
It works like this: we could probably trace poke.gif Ron all the way up the I 215 corridor clear to Kansas Street. But once we get to his shop we lose the trail because of the out gassing due to over saturation.
