[TR] Gas smell

[Pat Fischer]

On my 250 there is a portion of the fuel line under the rear of the car 
with a small length of rubber hose connecting two longer metal pipes. I 
guess maybe they did that for flex/vibration purposes. Several years 
back my garage was filling with gas fumes that I couldn't find the 
source of. Pushed the car outside and a day later the leak was enough 
for a small spot on the driveway. The frustrating part of this is that 
it can leak and evaporate at about the same rate, so there's no dripping 
for awhile.

Drained the gas tank and a friend helped me install a new length of 
rubber hose.

Could this be your problem?
