Re: I smell gas!
On my '89 YJ there is a rollover valve located in
a small compartment on the rear passenger side.
There is a plastic cover behind the rear wheel that
you can remove. You have to look up and inside
once you remove the panel. There is a cheap plastic
valve that broke twice on my '89. See if you have the
same thing on your '94.
