Yep, can relate to the smell of gas! On my first spitty, there was a fuel
pump incident. Thankfully, I was a block from a buddy's house-he had the
only other spitifre in this small town. He was gone with his ship-so I went
over, exchanged fuel pumps and was off again. When he got back, couldn't
figure out what was up with his spitty as "but, it was finally running so
well when I left."! (Tee hee hee!)
It's ok-I fessed up and he got a big laugh.
