In my case the smell isn't overwhelming. I can only smell it when the garage
has not
been opened from some time. Also, the smell seemed to be linked with the
warming
weather. It could be (far stretch) that the fuel in the tank expanded at the
garage
warmed, pushing out a little vapor. Then again, there is also a lawn mower,
chain
saw, string trimmer and two gas cans in the garage.
