After more discussion with my wife and friends, I’m reluctantly returning the bag. I really like the idea but I believe the fuel smell is due to the vent on top of the gas tank. Unless......someone has a better idea.

Post fuel smell...

We have used the bags for many years....with no fuel smell issues.

Perhaps I just didn't notice, but it certainly hasn't been pronounced. Maybe there is a way to vent the gas tank to the outside..?? the bags do provide quality protection for the cars...we typically remove the battery, use dehumidity bags and dryer sheets, cover with the cloth cover and zip it up.

good luck..

Good idea -- there has to be away to vent the fuel tank cap/system to the outside ... just changes in barometric pressure will cause the fuel system to vent ... TAZ
