for the second time in a couple of weeks, I experienced a faint but noticeable odor of avgas in the aircraft. in both instances, it lasted maybe 30 seconds, and wasn't real strong. nevertheless, even without the wife's excited comments, it was disconcerting. after the first one, I looked the airplane over both inside the cockpit and outside, but found no indication of a leak anywhere. then it recurred again today. both times, I BELIEVE the odor occurred at or immediately after an adjustment to the mixture control, tho I cannot fathom why that would be the case. anyone with similar experience or suspicions? don olandese
