Subject:EV Fuel Line Leak Warning......
Date:Mon, 8 Dec 1997 09:37:54 EST

Thanks for the warning Ric. I have been smelling gas for some time now
on my EV, and I just can't spot a leak anywhere.  I can smell it only
after I've been driving and come to a stop.  Then it disappears after
a few seconds.  I've been wondering if it may be a vent line from the
top of the fuel tank to the charcoal canister (behind left front wheel).
The tank had been removed at one time (not to mention left suspension and
transmission!) - to replace the coolant line to the rear heater.   I don't
think I smelled it before that.  Now that I know how to access the top of the
tank from inside, I should take a look.  I'll also take another close look at
area you mention, Ric.

I haven't seen any posting of this one before, so I figured I'd alert the EV
troops out there.....
