The first time I brought our new (to us) A Roadster I parked it in our attached garage without shutting the fuel valve off. The next morning my wife complained about "the awful gas smell" in the garage. I checked the floor and the carb and couldn't find any leaks. She said "I don't care get it out of the garage."
One of the guys in our club suggested I turn off the fuel shut off valve and let it run until it ran dry. I did it and no more gas smell in garage! Bonus, no more unhappy wife!
