    Hello,

    Thought I'd put this out there an ask for help from the gurus. Maybe I'll
    get lucky that my problem may be a common one.

    A couple days ago I started noticing a gasoline odor inside the cabin. I do
    not smell anything under the hood but do smell a slight odor in the trunk.
    There is no visible leaking of gas on the ground. Does anyone have any
    ideas what to try first? Could it be a stuck 2 way canister valve or split
    hose??

    The car has 195k miles, was driven in New England for the 14 or so winters
    but was undercoated when new. All the shop manual specified maintenance is
    up to date and no work has been performed recently.

    Probably time for a gas tank. You will need to look at all hose
    connections and the seams of the tank and the fuel and brake lines under
    the car. Would not be suprised to find rust and leaks. Common on these
    cars.
    Do you have a mechanic you can trust? bob
