I was testing the full flap stall speed today, and held the airplane in up attitude for maybe 30 seconds, at idle. Stalled and recovered , and then noticed a strong smell of fuel. This went away in a minute. We landed and saw nothing on post flight. I had completely full fuel in the left tank, and it got hot. One guess is the fuel swelled, overflowed, and at that attitude got blown inside the engine cowling somehow.
Anyone else run into this. Any other possibilities. There was no fuel smell for the duration of flight after.
