The truck that turns every head in town is making the garage smell like gas, bigtime. Their is no rust on the fuel tank, always been garaged, tight fitting cap, new fuel pump, newer engine, it is as original as it gets. Very nice truck but has become a hassle for my Dad who is 72 and ready to sell it. I don't want him to but I'm sure he is sick of his garage reeking of gas.. Any ideas ? Others in town have looked and can't see any gas.. NO leaks on truck anywhere. Thank you.
