The interior of my 79 smells like gasoline fumes. It is a daily driver, and I noticed it about 3 days ago. It only smells like gasoline on the inside of the van, not in the engine compartment. While driving, the smell is more obvious. I did a pretty good inspection of the engine compartment and the fuel pump. No leaks turned up!!!1 The only things that I've done different to the car in the last week are park it on a weird incline which it is not used to, and also drive on the highway at a constant 60mph. Before this I would drive a constant 55mph. The car did this once after I added fuel injector cleaner awhile back, but when I refilled the tank, the odor left. I refilled the tank this afternoon , and drove for awhile. same smell. i parked and opened all the windows and let sit for 3 hrs. Came back and same gasoline odor with no visible leaks. Any ideas/suggestions This is weird and kind of scary. Thanks Paul Wies 79 bus
