Dear List Readers,

Hello again. I found out what kind of vehicle I bought, that is to say that
I found out how to read the VIN number and now know that I have an
air-cooled engine, which was mainly what I wanted to know about. Late last
night I filled up (11+ gals.) the tank. Now the entire interior is just
awash in gas fumes. Right now it's kinda cold here in Indiana and I'd like
to be able to feel safe running the heater. Any ideas as to what might be
the cause of this. When I purchased the van, it only had a quarter tank of
gas, but there was no odor. Now it has 3/4 and my family can hardly bear
the smell. Any advice welcome.

TIA,
Joe Denison
