oh puhleeeeeeze - is this a chicken little competition?

when a car starts, you have to dump gas because the motor is not warm,
thus the fuel doesn't fully vaporize, thus you need excess gas to get
sufficient vapor density to burn. if you dump gas, then turn the motor
off? where is the gas now? in the inlet, and /not/ being sucked into
the motor. so where does it go? it evaporates back out of the air
intake. thus you smell gas!!!

so that's all the o.p. is experiencing - a few seconds of excess gas
because he hasn't warmed the motor. utterly trivial.
