Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas formed by the incomplete combustion of fuels. When people are exposed to CO gas, the CO molecules will displace the oxygen in their bodies and lead to poisoning. FROM GOOGLE.

I overfilled my gas tank once and an eyedropper amount of gas spilled onto the top of the tank. We smelled it for two weeks even though I wiped it up immediatly.

A cart that is that new, get it checked. Couldn't hurt.
