I have examined the gas lines from the tank to the engine compartment while engine is running and while engine is off. cannot locate leak or why odor is so strong as soon as I turn off engine. Any suggestions or ideas?

It will evaporate very quickly and that is why you have a hard time finding it. Sometimes using a little baby powder can help but the leak may be in an area that you can't see like the top of the tank. It could also be one of the fuel injectors on the engine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
