Hey all, I've noticed a strong gas smell the past 2 times I have filled up my '90 240 DL and driven it for a few miles. I checked my trunk and noticed I have a small black tube running to the outside of the car through a hole in the trunk where the jack is. There was also a very small amount of gas in that area and the tube was loose the first time I checked it. When I filled it up yesterday I drove it to work, about
20 miles, I didnt smell any gas but on the way home I took a left turn at a fairly quick pace and immediately noticed a gas smell.My first question is, what is that tube and its purpose? Second, why do I keep getting gas in the trunk? I'm guessing its some king of overflow but I need to know how to prevent any more gas puddles.
I've checked the car for other leaks and have not found any. Fuel mileage is still an amazing 29mpg.
Thanks!
