Re: Gas smell in trunk/high tank pressure. 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Patrick Collins on  Tue Nov 6 01:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

In a recent experience of mine, the rubber seal surrounding the fill neck and rear quarter panel had come loose. The seal popped out of the quarter panel and was allowing some fumes into the trunk ... and eventually into the cabin where I could smell it. This is the black rubber seal you see when you open the fuel door. Just make sure yours is in its proper place.

I'll have to look and see the other line you are describing. I am aware of an overflow drain that dumps near the rear tire when gas backs up during fill-ups. The small drain hole is located just inside the fuel door directly under the fill neck. But this drain line will not affect tank pressure.
