I have a 1996 Bonneville, it is a great car but after it sits in my garage for a couple of hours the smell of gasoline is so strong I have to back it out in the driveway. I have replaced the upper intake manifold, fuel filter and had the fuel and the evap inspected. I think it could be a cold weather problem, it happened last year too. No one could figure it out. Snow and ice are coming and I need my car in the garage. The odor is coming from the right rear tire well area, I fill up on the left rear. I did over fill my tank last week, it was past the F on the gauge. Please can anyone help me?
