Strong Gasoline Smell Filling Garage!

Posted by Ragtime Kid On 2017/5/14 22:01:20

I am away on a business trip and my wife reports a powerful gasoline smell filling the garage where we keep the '41 110. This happened once before, shortly after sending the gas tank out to a radiator shop for cleaning and turned out to be a crack where the filler neck joins the tank. The shop brazed it and it has been fine for over a year.

What's the best way to diagnose where it's coming from without the nightmare of draining and dropping the tank again? In the case of the first time this happened, it was immediately apparent the first time I filled the tank after getting it back but what could cause a car that has been sitting for the past 2 to 3 weeks (that was the last time it was driven) to suddenly fill the garage with gas fumes over night?

Thanks!!
