I had indeed done so, and it seemed to be coming from just above the 
right-hand jug. That was what made me think of the QD fittings. No 
visible cracks in the hoses, nor dampness anywhere.

I think the issue must have been intimidated by the august wisdom of 
this body, as it now appears to have gone away. When I started it for a 
test ride there was no gas smell, nor when I stopped to bring the tires 
up to pressure, nor after the ride. I suspect this one will return some day.
