Good morning!

Although I’ve rarely posted over the years, I’m certainly thankful for this list and the excellent tips and advice I’ve gleaned.

I’m not that mechanically inclined, so I usually have professionals work on my ’91 Carat (with automatic tranny) for me.  But I’ve run into an issue that has so far defied diagnosis.

When I drive around city streets with either my driver side or driver and passenger side windows rolled down, I experience a light to moderate aroma of gasoline. Both I and my mechanics have inspected all the fuel lines and found no leaks whatsoever. The gas cap is an original, locking gas cap, which seems to fit tightly.

I’m baffled.  Thanks in advance for any wisdom and advice my fellow Vanagon list members might provide.
