[C320-list] Full tank smell

[Chef Adam Weiner]

To be honest I don't know if it occurs only on one tack.  We tend to use
more then one tack during a day.

Not a new problem, I just haven't put this on the list before.

I don't like running below 1/4 tank of fuel.  I fill up about twice a year
with jerry jugs.  I go about 25 or so times out without the need to refuel.
