Re: Fuel leak?

[DMCVegas@xxxx]

Did you remove the access panel to check that the hoses for the fuel 
filler and the vapor recovery system are connected properly? If there 
is a leak here, fumes can roll down and sometimes get sucked up thru 
the drain for the intake chamber for the A/C. A bad gas cap can also 
cause fumes to enter inside. Here the fumes can either drop down the 
same way, or they can simply travel accross the grill at the bottom
of 
the windshield to become sucked in.

I've had a problem somewhat simular with the tankzilla unit in my
car, 
but I believe I've found the reason why.

Try this test: Take you car out into traffic on a hot day, and drive 
it around for about an hour or two. When you get back, remove the gas 
cap. Stick a key or another object into the filler neck to open the 
filler door. Check to see if any pressurized gas fumes rush out. If 
you can as well, check to see if an bubbles/leaks start appearing 
around the fuel sending unit.
