Subject:I smell gas!
From:Tony

Folks,

Well, It's been 5 months since my '87 unexpectedly (is there another
way?) caught on fire in my local Taco Bell parking lot and went to the
VW yard in the sky. Since that day I've been putting my ducks in a row
in order to buy another. Well, this weekend it happened- I bought a '90
GL!! It's sweet. Low miles, nicely kept and seems to be mechanicaly(sp?)
sound. The P.O. kept all receipts-including head replacement! Anyway,
upon my first fill up, I discovered an overflow leak. I should say
flood. I probably lost half a gallon. Now, ever since then (2 days) I
smell gas when I shut it down and  get out. First, how do I fix the
overflow leak, and second why am I smelling gas? I am a little nervous
given that the fuel lines were the cause of my last lost. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all in advance and it's nice to be back. I hope nobody minds,
but I've been lurking this whole time-keeping up and helping out.

later

Tony '90 GL :-)
