Z-that is actually really good input. I drove quite a bit today, took it easier on the throttle which is to say I tried to keep everything around 2k rpms or less and had no problems whatsoever. I went to get a haircut, pulled a sharp and fast U-turn, parked a minute or two later and hot damn! Gas smell up near the front driver side that seemed to be coming from the engine compartment. Though it could have been from anywhere it was strong enough. Pulling out of the parking lot I heard a strange sloshing sound from the front I had not heard before...

I am beginning to worry that I am going to randomly combust.

pshh......that's a crock, I used 85 for years and never had a problem......
