Gas smell is back

I will do the best I can to explain the heat shield .
Think about a car muffler and it's exhaust system, most have a shield between muffler and fuel tank with space between
muffler and shield and space between shield and fuel tank.
what I did is took a piece of thin tin (aluminum) about 11"x 11" and worked it between the exhaust and the tank so it
deflects the heat , leave a space so it doesn't contact the exhaust, for now I have it wired in place.
sorry no pictures

This is interesting as most have tried to make a dent in the fuel boiling situation by wrapping pipes and the tank.

Makes a lot of sense to instead try to isolate the tank from the close heat of the pipes...

Next time I open up my RT I am going to experiment with this... Doc Riverside, are you watching this ?
