smelling gas!?!
I swear the last 2 weeks or so when I'm driving my '89 suburban, if I open the windows, I can smell gas. I've opened the engine compartment and don't smell it, but I smell it going down the road. Any ideas what I can check? Am I crazy?? Has anybody ever seen this?!?

Re: smelling gas!?!
nope... everything is stock (for now)... single out the back...
and usually the chili would be my first guess, but ruled that out already.... |

Re: smelling gas!?!
are you checking under the hood with the engine running? If not, you should. the extra pressure in the line could cause a leak if there is a small crack or hole. The gas might be hitting the engine block and evaporating so follow and check the whole line.
