I took our GMC up to scout camp last night, and when I parked, there was a very strong gas odor around the middle of the coach (right about over the gas tanks). Also, when I stepped on the floor near the refrigerator, there was a metallic popping noise, like the top of one of the tanks was pressing right up against the floor. There was no gas odor outside of the coach, and no leaks that I could see.

The odor eventually died down after opening all of the windows and running the Fantastic Vent Fan, and the metallic popping sound eventually went away, but the same thing happened once we got the coach home today.

Not sure where to start on this one. I replaced the fuel separator in the drivers side rear wheel well about a year ago after it broke, so I'm going to check that again.

Any other ideas on what to look for?
