1991 Escort - 47K miles - smell of raw gas for some time. finally discovered it was the Tank leaking now to the point that the concentration could, or if parked in the garage potentially cause a fire.....local dealer don't give a "D**m" and will have to pay.....
Might park in garage and get lucky.....
