> hi folks, i am getting a fairly strong gasoline smell through the heater of my 
63 monza. this occurs usually on initial startup, the smell disappears after the 
car warms up and is driven a bit. i see nothing wet or dripping anywhere from 
fuel lines to pump to carbs, nothing dripping under car either. i am using stock 
pump. wondering if anyone has ideas or solutions. this has been a recent 
occurence (past couple of months) thanks, jim

============================================


Funny so many do not understand   our cars / engines...


  Our heaters are supplied with Engine cooling air....   


So.......


  It has to be an external fuel leak.. or a flooding  carb....




 Time to take a close look Jim....


Damp lines  can cause smells... weeping fuelpump, etc..  look for gas staining.
