gas smell in 2001 225
Hi: My 2001 225 has given me an interior gasoline smell that occurs after about 3-4 miles of driving. It last for 2-3 minutes and then goes away. I have no engine lights on. It has been very cold recently (low teens). I popped the hood after coming home and no gasoline smell in the engine compartment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Wish I could help..
I took mine in to a German specific mechanic in Cincinnati, and they couldn't even verify a fuel odor, even though there's a check engine light on with a fuel fault.. Plus I have to keep the windows cracked when driving slow..
I'm replacing all the vacuum hoses next week and hopefully fixing the secondary air pump. I fixed that once, but it sounds like a tractor on cold starts again.
I've replaced the fuel filter, pump and gaskets in the back seat to no avail.
