With the early spring and lack of winter in the Northwest this year, I’m now on the second tank of the year. I still haven’t made any longer trips, so I haven’t yet gotten the chance to really find out what new quirks I have to fix appeared as she slumbered between October and February.

The only thing really wrong right now is that my trunk smells of gasoline. Not a lot, but it’s there. The tank is new (one of those Canadian made nickel-plated tanks), but the plumbing isn’t. I suspect the filler neck is cracked. Any other likely candidates? It’s not overwhelming, but it’s enough that if I leave a shirt in the boot overnight, it has to be aired out for a while before I can stand to wear it.
