[T3] I smell a smelly smell


I mentioned once before that I smell gas when I make a sharp left turn
after I fill the tank.  Jim said to check the breather hose. 

I took everything out of the trunk today and had a good look around.
The hoses in the trunk all look great; I had them replaced a few years
ago when I replaced the gas tank.  I also looked down thru little gas
filler door and up under the right fender.  Again, everything looked
good and tight.  The only thing I saw were some very fine, superficial
cracks in the j-shaped hose.  I ran a paper towel around it, and did not
smell any gas.  

I also checked out the connections on the driver side that go to the
filter canister under the fender; they were also good (I had that
replaced with the tank---the original was completely rusted thru).  

What else could it be?
