Re: Curious smell of gas.....

Gas especially winter gas has additives that are designed to smell to alert owners to leaks.

Carb cars after being shut down emit fumes. Cars that run rich and most of these do emit fumes. These fumes are not good to sniff but may not be indicative of a leak. Garages should be well ventilated esp. if storing cars like these. If there is a fuel vent open to the air you could try a charcoal canister. Make sure there are no leaks and if there aren't still air out the garage before starting your car.
