Strong gas smell as Spyder sits in garage even with recall gas cap
I got my 2012 Spyder RTS earlier this week and today about an hour after getting home, my wife says "Do you smell gas"? I immediately when to the downstairs garage and the very strong smell of gasoline hit me right away. The Spyder had been sitting for about an hour after my 10mi ride home.
When I bought the unit I checked the gas cap to make sure it matched the one shown in their recall PDF here http://www.spyder.brp.com/DownloadFi...0-a22900b772fa so I think I have the proper gas cap.
Anyone have any ideas?
Simple methodology for gas odors
Get yourself a 36 inch box fan somewhere. Go for a ride come home, park it in the garage. Now put your new fan in front of the nose, turn it on low, medium or high and let it run for a while with the garage open a minimum of 6 inches with the fan blowing through to two wind tunnels.
Works for me, I have done every thig BRP has suggested. My dealer has uncovered it a multitude number of times negative results and the cost of a new one it out of reach until I pay back my new Silverado 4X4 money I borrowed from myself.
