Hope you find the source, keep us posted to, that set-up is exactly like mine.
Thanks Mike. Good call on the house. Rarely do I stop short of the garage but when I saw the smoke in the rear view mirror I decided to get out and investigate. Sure glad I did.

I am still not exactly sure what the cause is. A short in the harness effecting the fuel sending unit wire off the tank or the license plate light could have been a culprit as an ignition source. The other idea is the exhaust temps and fumes from the gas cap mixed with leaking due to a full gas tank could have ignited the fuel. Either way, I will post what the decided culprit is once we get it to the shop for diagnosis.
