The gas smell will be strongest on hot days, even on my newer vehicles I have noticed the gas venting on hot days. I have had my van out cruising this last weekend and when it was shut off and setting, I could smell a gas odor coming from the passenger side of the van. It has been 90 degrees here the last couple days. I replaced my charcoal canister 2 years ago, all the charcoal had turned to a fine sandy like substance. Part of my smell is I need the float replaced in the carb, when the van is hot and after setting for 20 minutes or more, when I start it up, I get a strong smell of gas, like when a carb is flooded. Otherwise the van runs so good, I hate messing with the carb. Guys tell me the old floats, which are original, have a pinhole in them.

I put in a new voltage regulator and so far no more smell. I haven't had the chance to go on any extended drives, but haven't noticed anything while city driving.
Hopefully that was the simple remedy.
Thanks again for all the suggestions. If it wasn't the old regulator cooking the battery than I'll be back.
