...to be getting a fairly strong fuel smell in the frunk? I can smell it pretty good in the garage. Having the car inspected Friday but just wondering if this is typical. Thanks!

some times its simple... a bad gasket at the filler neck
or sometimes a hose under the tank (do you know when those were last replaced?... I like to change mine out every 5-6 years) sometimes its a pin hole in the tank itself... they tend to rust through from the inside, often where the soft pads are that the tank mounts on. If you had just filled it... and maybe overfilled it to the very top... they can smell a little due to being overfilled. |
