    Snowblower and gasoline smell in garage
    Hi After using the snowblower for the first time this season I cannot get rid of the exhaust smell of gas in the garage which seems to be getting into the house.
    New gas this year. Any ideas.

    Also, I just asked a question about turning my central air on for a few hours today and wondered if I damaged the unit.


    Thanks for your help.

    Put the snow blower outside. Sounds like either a gasoline leak or you ran it in the garage and you are smelling the exhaust.

    You are right... there was a leak. It is old, an Arens, probably about 25 years plus. Time for a new one.

    Thanks for your help.

    Never saw a snow blower in Atlanta but they are just a lawnmower with a different blade. Glad you found the leak.
