I can smell fuel somewhere in the rear end of my Syncro.  I thought I had
been getting a whiff of gasoline once in a while, but whenever I would
investigate it, the smell would dissipate and I could never tell if it was
from my van or the guy parked next to me.  I have been checking the drips
left by the van and have found evidence of every fluid except gas.  Tonight,
when I went out to have my nocturnal smoke, before I could pollute my
olfactory senses with all that blissful tar and nicotine, I caught a whiff of
gas as I walked past the van.  Sniffing like a mongrel in heat, I went all
over the ass-end of the van.  I know it was not the height of dignity, but I
have to find the source.  The smell is very faint and coming from both
wheelwells.  I CANNOT smell it in the engine compartment and there is no
evidence of dampness anywhere under the van, around the fuel pump, fuel
filter, fuel lines, fuel rails, etc.

Has anyone had a similar experience with a Syncro?  I thought I had distanced
myself from leaking gas tanks when I switched to a Syncro; at least, I hope I
did.
