<VV> Gas smell in right turn

[Jim Simpson]

Russ -- the hard right followed by smelling gasoline is a clue that it's 
related to the gas tank.  I used to have the problem all the time and it 
turned out to be the gas tank cap.  The one that came on the car was vented 
-- a small hole (1/32" ?) through the center of the cap.  I replaced it 
with one that had a check valve in the vent hole -- basically a thing that 
looked like a loose rivet in the vent that closed when gas surged against 
it from the inside -- and that cured the problem.

But, as others have suggested, check the rubber hose connection between the 
tank and the filler lines.
