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?

I'd also make sure that your vent hoses to the vacuum canister are in good condition, or if they and the canister have been removed, then the outlets in the tank neck could be the source. Then there is the large vent (overflow?) hose that should be going down under the car via a hole in the belly pan (or is it in the tub pan itself? Either way, there will be a hole there). Pictures could prove to be helpful. |
