WHERE under the middle of your van? Middle front? Middle Rear? Middle
Middle?

BTW: I am a man of great courage, but I have yet to test vehicular leaks by
taste... Have you ever checked for a propane leak with a lit match? That's
a real blast. :)

This morning I let my '87 warm up for about 10 mins (10 degrees out).  When
I came back out there was a small pool under the middle of the van.  It was
dripping pretty quickly.  I gave a quick taste test and to my surprise I
did
not get that sweet taste. I thought it was just water melting (wishful
thinking) As I'm driving I notice my finger reeked of gasoline.  I have a
gas leak!  When I got to work I kept it running and looked under and there
was no leak.  I did fill up last night.  Any ideas anyone?  As usual,
thanks
for the advice.
