Gas smell from front of car
My 88 GT has a strong gas smell from the front of the car after I shut
it off. It runs fine and gets okay gas mileage although it usually stalls when I first start it in the morning. Is this vapor canister issues? I bought a used one that was supposed to be good, but that didn't fix it. Thanks

It's also possible that you have an injector going bad (leaking) look for
signs of fuel leaking from the top of the injector's vent hole.
