The message <36B2014F.792F279nopsampse.net> from dragonnopsampse.net contains these words: > 2 repair guys cant explain strong gas smell when car is left for approx > over 12 hours, worse in trunk. Gas tank connections, gas cap all looked > at. One repair man said maybe it is the tar coating in the trunk. > Clothes left in the trunk end up smelling like gas. Is this a known > problem with Saab 94 convertibles? > Thanks!! > Andy I'm a bit unfamiliar with ragtops, but theres a valve on the hardtops that cuts out the fuel in the event of the car turning over. Its a sort of "U" pipe that goes over the roof and down the other side. I have 2 Saabs, and a smell of fuel on entering the car first off is prevailent. I presumed this was the reason, it goes away after start up so I have never had a problem with it. I just think its a quirk of Saabs, No doubt someone will tell me I'm talking bollox but this is my observation. -- Mark Trudgill
