No cracks, etc.  Smelling around the van doesn't help. It seems to "go away"
right after smelling it.  It's like a big whiff when you come towards the
van then you can't smell it anywhere around the van after that.

Hpw about the filler tube?  Could it be seperated or cracked?  Can you smell
around the van and localize it?  Good luck.
