Great. When I get back to Florida from Wet Cold Midwest, I will have to =
take out the sending unit in my BJ8 to see if it is positioned properly =
etc.

Hi Bob- just want to let you know the Fabreze extra strength seems to =
have worked!
=20
Follow-up on cause =3D the fuel sender upper chamber was full to the =
brim with fuel. I discovered this by driving the car for a couple of =
days with the Armacord out, an could see fuel on top of the sending =
unit=E2=80=A6 Removing the upper gasket revealed that fuel had made its =
way up into the rectangular chamber, but never drained back down. As =
such, even when the tank level dropped, it was still sloshing fuel out =
the top of the sender.
=20
I called Moss for advice as this is a new sending unit. The telephone =
rep told me she checked with technical and they say it is not unusual =
for there to be fuel in the top, and to just seal the gasket and screw =
threads. I sopped out as much of the fuel as I could and sealed the =
gasket and threads, and will see how it goes.

Buy Febreze HD in the larger Container such as Qt. Size from Home Depot =
etc. and spray on, or soak it several times. I had a diesel smell in =
the aft berth cushions of my sailboat and tried several types of =
solutions, but, Febreze finally did the job.
=20
Washing inside and out and laying it out in the sun would usually work =
for Gasoline, while Diesel is much more difficult to remove.

I might try that as a last resort, as it is likely to be very =
expensive.=20
=20
Do you have experience using a dry cleaner to get out gasoline odor?

Dry cleaner?
On May 25, 2019, at 12:02 PM, Al Fuller <alfuller194@gmail.com =
All this talk of leaks from the fuel sender reminds me =E2=80=93 any =
experience in getting the fuel odor out of the armacord that covers the =
fuel tank? I=E2=80=99ve dried it out in the sun, but it still smells of =
gasoline.
=20
As I recall, when this happened previously I hosed it off with copious =
amounts of water, then put it in the sun to dry =E2=80=93 which took =
quite some time, as it soaks up fluids like crazy.
=20
Any better way?
