I smell gas
I towed a boat 3 hrs last sunday, every time I went uphill and the tranny kicked down I could smell gas quite strong.
Normally I don't smell anything, just when its under a heavy load.
Its a 1995 E350 EFI 5.7 windsor engine. XLT van.
Any ideas?

Could be your fuel filler neck decayed and cracked. There is also a vent hose that runs right next to same.
Could also be the fuel rail, o-rings at each injector, pressure regulator, etc.. You need to take the doghouse off to look at that. Fumes are flammable, be careful!
