You know, someone, someday, is going to find this thread while desperately trying to figure out why their car smells like fuel and they're gonna read 3 1/2 pages of posts looking for answers... and then they'll find this... I think that's pretty awesome...

Everybody say "Hi" to the future people who'll read this thread.

Then I pulled each paper towel off, one by one and felt them, smelled them and inspected them with the IR light for the dye... Nothing, nowhere, no wetness, no smell, no dye, nothing... but it still smells
Well at this point, you need to get out the Ronson and do the Ronson test !!
