Since it oscillates and then settles down, I doubt it's a vacuum leak. I would think a vacuum leak would cause continual oscillations(?).

#10. RE: tracking down fuel odor - from Patrick Kelly

Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2007 16:30:09 -0500 From: "Patrick Kelly" <pkelly@agincourtcapital.com> Subject: RE: tracking down fuel odor I just wanted to thank Steve and the other good listers who contacted me privately with possible solutions to the fuel odor. As I mentioned in my original post, the odor is not emanating from the cabin (I replaced the flexi hoses and clamps from the fuel pump/ sending units a couple of years ago), it's coming from outside of the car. I am thinking it must be the filter canister, so I once again repeat, has anyone had any experience with this part, or the fuel regulator, or any other underhood fuel components that might lead to a fairly strong fuel odor? Thanks for the bandwidth, the knowledge, and--heck--the love.
