Strangely, This problem didn't show up until I had driven the car a few times and filled the tank. While it was not registered, just idling in the driveway, there was no gas smell. I drove the car a few times and still no odor. I put $10 in the tank yesterday and now, every time I get in the car, ther is a strong gas smell. It is strongest in the trunk where the tank is. I can't find any leaks. Is this normal?

Hi! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I suggest checking the seal/gasket under the filler neck. It's a common source for vapors. IIRC, the filler neck seal is still available. -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
