Good video!
What about the gas smell coming through the air vents inside the car, what are the steps to find it if not seeing any leaks on the engine. Thanks

[@neilouellette3004]

When you find out let us know.

[@LaTwanny49]

That’s your fuel rail if you smell it Thur your vents

[@robertbodoh2519]

i bought a new gas cap. its cheap but seems like it doesnt seal the gas well. i can smell it from the outside. so decided to use the old one. now when i drive i can smell the car in the cabin. and opening the trunk it has this strong gas smell. and i dont know what to do. any suggestions?

[@MhFha]

What about the fuel tank caps cover

[@kentonkirkpatrick5225]

I have an '03 Ford Taurus. I smelled gas in my garage and didn't know why. Turns out, A plastic elbow coming out of my gas tank (connected to the fuel line) was cracked. It effectively became a fuel injector and was spraying vaporized gas into the air. Coincidently, I had just given my car back-to-back treatments of fuel system cleaner which may have been too much for the plastic elbow causing it to fail.

Very helpful.

Thanks man😅

[@abstractaccuracy8570]

On an NA Miata?

[@FisK919]

Wouldnt this cause a check engine light if it’s going to pull a code with the machine? I have no check engine light on. It always seems to smell worse when I first fuel up. Once my car sits for awhile with a mostly full tank I can smell it pretty bad when I get back in my car after it’s been sitting awhile. After driving nd using the heat or AC the smell goes away. Seems to smell at its worse sitting for hours and off. I can only smell it when inside the car.

[@stephaniewalker3545]

I am having the exact same issue. The fuel smell is stronger after my car has sat still. I don't have any leaks.

[@mr.nobody9344]

Did you guys solved the problem
I also have the same issue

[@GhostRecon876]

i just changed my fuel pump and started having this problem, didn't have it before i changed the pump

[@javierj3357]

What if you only smell gas in the car when it is extremely hot outside with temps over 100?

[@ameerabdul1909]

I got the same problem

[@doughboy4681]

Run

[@lazieatom8637]

Anyone got info?

[@artiemejia3695]

It’ll be the same as with anything, the vapors expand and are more noticeable. I would check the fuel pressure. Could be a faulty or leaking fuel pump since they sit inside the vehicle.

[@user-dv1hf2lb4u]

Bro thank you!!! I have a 2023 Transit that’s doing that only when it’s hot!!

[@EngjellSeferi]

Last winter my car didn't smell gas at all at any time, now that the temperatures gone up it started smelling gas do you guys have had any issues like this ?

[@julianhernandez6550]

I just noticed the same problem today, hasn’t happened before but noticed it today when running my ac, it only smells when my ac is on and I stop at a stop sign or light. It doesn’t smell when I have the ac off

[@kathybuck983]
