I've picked up one of the rear braces/battery mounts for the trunk. Its something I really want to do for all the right reasons. However, I am hesitating because when I open my trunk, I smell gas. Its not overwhelming, but it is there. My wife says that when she gets in the car she smells gas, I may have gotten used to it by now.
Anyway, first I am wondering if indeed there is risk by putting a battery in the immediate vicinity of the gas tank, and in gas fumes (explosion comes to mind).
Second, if the fumes are unsafe, what can I do to fix this?
by the way, its stunningly beautiful here in south texas today!
