gas fumes

[mrider]

i have bought a 99 IS and while riding i am smelling gas fumes, i see nothing leaking so i am in need of ideas to check thanks for the help.

My Standard does too on occasion.  I just assume it is unburned fuel going through the exhaust system.  After all there is no catalytic converter on these things.

I occasionally have the same thing.

Some have added an "O"-ring to the

filler cap and others have redone the gasket.

Whatever

It doesn't bother me so I just leave it alone.

Check the intake O rings.  I solved a gas smell when parked by changing these
