Reply to "My garage smells like gasoline."

First air the garage out and check for leaks, it doesn't take much of a leak to smell bad. Use a paper towel or brown paper bag and grab all the fuel connections to see it it is wet anywhere. If no leak more than likely it's either the fuel tank vent or fuel going past the carb seat this can be caused by a sticking needle valve or excessive much fuel pressure. Sometimes right after your turn off the ignition you may hear the carb percolate which is fuel pressure .
