As the title says, this past week I've had pretty strong gas fumes in the cabin. This has been ever since I filled up with gas. So, at first I thought I just spilled some when filling up, but the smell has lasted for a week. I'm wondering if I don't have the cap sealed properly, but it's pretty hard not to twist the cap back on. Is it possible that the cap gasket is worn (although it looks fine to me), or ...?
When I raise the bonnet and sniff around, the smell is pretty strong right around the gas cap area, so I know it's coming from somewhere around there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Are the breather lines still connected? I don't remember where they go for a stock car set up, but I know there should be some connected. I'm working on routing mine as well since I no longer have the charcoal filter. I do know that's the reason I smell gas fumes in my cabin. I bet the routing can be found by a search on the forum.
