I had a strange gas leak several days ago. I decided to take my baby (a KVA GT40) out for a spin as she had been sitting in the garage all winter. As I backed out of the garage I noticed a stream of fluid coming from under the car – later I recognized that it was gasoline. I followed my usual routine of giving her a shot of laughing gas (starting fluid) to help her start after sitting a long time and she started right up.
After putting her back in the garage I did a thorough test of the gas plumbing. She has dual side tanks, dual off/on switches, dual fuel lines and filters, etc. However, I can’t find any leaks. I’ve run each fuel pump several times, started the engine but can’t find any leaks.
Is it possible that the side tanks have some kind of pressure release valve that vented the gas? Is this a problem I should worry about?
