| 2000 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | THERE WAS A STRONG GAS SMELL IN CAB WITH ALL WINDOWS CLOSED. I CLOSED THE VENT, BUT IT WAS STILL VERY STRONG AND GETTING WORSE. NO FUEL LEAKS FOUND. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES. SEEMS TO BE INTERMITTENT AND NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH RE/FUELING, OR FUEL TANK LEVEL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS POSSIBLY THE ORVR. SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD COMBINATION FOR A EXPLOSION. *JB |
