After 10 days on the road in Wayne's coach an intermittent and very strong gasoline order has developed.
I have searched for leaks and can find nothing.
On thursday morning I filled up in Cardwell, Montana. About 4200 elevation and headed south toward our next camp at Henry's Lake, Idaho about 6600 ft elevation 15 miles west of West Yellostone, Montana.
A couple of hours later near Earthquale Lake ele. 6400 ft. We started to smell gas. I stopped looked around found nothing.
Don't know temperature but under 90* I think.
The oder went away after we arrived at camp site and coach sat for a few hours.
Yesterday a.m. I bought gas at West Yellowstone, Mt. Didn't fillup and was very careful. No gas spill or burping back from the fill line.
After a couple of hours of slow driving and multiple stops the gas smell came back. Had to open windows and run vent fans just to be able to stay in the coach.
Again the temps are below 90*.
Many severe elevation changes while driving 184 miles in Yellowstone Park. Targhee Pass 7072 ft. twice. going to and returning from the park.
Crossed the contintental divide twice within the park. 8262 ft. and 8391 ft. The highest Dunraven Pass 8859 ft.
The 403 ran fine all the way. No stops, stumbles, or vapor lock.
It starts easily each morning and throughout the day.
This morning -No gas smell yet- But I haven't started the engine yet.
Any suggestions?
