I took delivery on BDR 1220 June 2014 and experienced gas smell in the garage. I found two leaks. The first was located at the fitting in the gas line where it changes from tubing to metal flex hose. I tighten fitting and stopped the leak. The second finally showed as a drip from the top of the gas tank at the sending unit when I filled the tank for winter storage. Ran tank low and dropped tank and replaced sending unit gasket to stop the leak.
