Good Morning

Took our first trip this weekend and whenever we fill with gas we get a horrible
gas smell in the coach, this is the first time this has happened. Last summer I
dropped the tanks and put in all new lines, etc. All lines and connections are
good as of checking today.

The smell is the worst back by the bathroom.

Only change this year from last is a new Paterson rebuilt carb, but the coach
runs great and there is no gas smell near the engine. Could the canister line
to the carb be wrong? From all the books I looked at I have it correct.

Once the tanks get down to 1/2 tank, no more smell.

The coach has new body isolation pads and there is plenty of clearance between
the tanks and the body/frame, there is no pinching of lines.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks Everyone !


Ray
