John,


You literally have to sniff it out.  You must have fuel leaking from some
ungodly place and it may be stopping once the engine has warmed.  Your nose
is a highly sensitive instrument capable of detecting a few parts in
millions, so use it to zone in on the area of the strongest smell.  Then you
have to look around for even the slightest trace of dampness.  As you
probably know, it takes scant little gasoline to produce quite an aroma . . .
or a conflagration.
