Narrative:

C flight attendant (flight attendant) approached me when while the D and I were doing the entertainment tablet cart. He told me to follow him in the back galley and asked me if I smelled any gasoline type of smell. I told him I did. It smelled like some type of gas scent when turning on a burner and the gas doesn't produce a fire but a gasoline smell. We checked the lavatories or looked at any equipment to see if anything was producing a stronger scent but we could not find anything. C flight attendant then proceeded to call the pilots and the pilots asked us to ask a deadheading captain we had on board to see if there was anything unfamiliar to him. C flight attendant handled the rest of the situation. This was a scary situation and granted we did not feel any medical effects but slight headaches but hopefully nothing too serious may come from this.
