| Gasoline smell in 1989 Tioga | Gary | 2-5-03 |
| I just bought a 1989 24' Fleetwood Tioga, with a 460 engine. The engine runs fine, but only gets about 4 mpg at 55-60 mph. When the unit is parked, you can smell gasoline outside, by the driver's door. I can't see any leaks and can't pinpoint the problem. Any ideas? | ||

| It possibly has a bad purge valve. When these go bad. Gasoline is then drawn into the purge canister and when you are driving raw gas is dumped into the engine. | ||

| Could be vent hose cracked where it connects to gas tank. Fill tank as full as possible and see if any gas runs out. Hose cracked on mine. | ||

| I am considering a late model Tioga and was wondering about normal gas mileage. Any input? Thanks! John M. | ||
