Hello everyone,
Just returned from a 5 day trip to Arkansas (from Minnesota). Day one of the trip I could smell gasoline outside when standing behind or near the back. It's an 02 Winnebago 29B with a lot more rust from salt than I'd like.... So I crawled under for an immediate inspection. No leak detected but it's clear the top of the gas tank is venting. The tank pressurizes as expected or always has when it's hot outside and I've been driving. I don't get a smell in the morning when it's cool outside and everything is cold soaked. I suspect there may be some vent that isn't closing when the tank gets hot and releases pressure it fails to reseal.
I'm going to hunt it down and report what it was when I find the cause but if anyone knows a likely cause or advice I'll take it.
