Intake gaskets are leaking. You need to change them

Re: Gazoline smell in water canister!!

are you sure ?

here in the netherlands some people said : broken head gasket or the head self or the engine is broken somewhere.

the engine is 3500 km old after compleet rebuild.
before it was a tpi and never had a fuel in coolwater problem.

Complete rebuild = gaskets didn't seal correctly or your heads are cracked or warped. I'd still lean toward the gaskets.
