Strong Fuel Smell...
 
Guys, i'm suffering from an SFS...a Strong Fuel Smell...ok, that was lame :lol:

I'm curious as to why i'm smelling this everytime i take the ol' teggy out for a run. It's obviously coming from behind me and it gets stronger the further back into the car i follow it...almost like Toucan Sam...cept i'm not following fruit loops...:jeez:

My first thought would be that because i've COMPLETELY gutted my car the odour would be more present because there's less to shield the smell from me.

I don't have an external fuel leak and i'm still getting awesome mileage (which is helping in these dark times), so i know i'm not losing anything.

Any opinions? suggestions?

naw, my exhaust is perfect...new when i bought the car too...it's that wonderful smell you get when you're filling up...or pretty close to it...

i do have a gas smell addiction though...i should have noted that. this is better than any air freshener i'll tell you that! lol, jokes.
