The cougar is the first carburetor car I've owned that I've parked in a garage. All my others, (Monte Carlo and Cadillac) were kept outdoors. My question for all you seasoned owners, should I be concerned if I smell gas after I park my car. I literally have to open my garage door to air it out after I've driven the cat.
Is this normal or is there something wrong that needs to be looked at or adjusted? I keep it full of gas but I've noticed the smell even when I only had a 1/4 of a tank left, I'm sitting at 3/4 now. I noticed the smell when I first got the car and Ken from Ken's Cougars suggested that I check the rubber fuel filler hoses and clamps in the trunk which I did. There are no fuel leaks anywhere just the smell, anyone have a clue?
