[s-cars] the infamous fuel smell...

[abiglizard at att.net]

hey guys,

i've got a 97s6 and i noticed a gas smell the other day
in a drive through.  ambient temp was 98F.  so i took
the car home and looked for any signs or leaking fuel
and saw nothing.  so i've been driving other vehicles
for the last couple of days then drove the s6 last night
and noticed the smell again, but couldn't see anything.

i'm aware of the fuel hose issues, but thought that the
fuel hose cracks (problems) usually strike the s-cars
when it gets colder.

also, from what i remember, when others have noticed the
fuel smell it seems the leak was very obvious.  does
this sound like the same fuel line problem?  did the
97's have the same problems with the fuel line or were
they improved by that time?  or are there other ideas
for me to look into?

any help is appreciated.

thanks,
Kenny
