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
I had no gas smells but Friday I ran out of gas when driving. I tried starting car a few times and no luck. Had fuel delivered. But now I smell it thru vents which I find interesting cuz I hadn't smelled gas before this .@@LaTwanny49
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.
what if the gas smell only starts when I turn on the car, the moment I start driving the smell stops. so it just smells like gas when I turn on the engine after a long time
This is crazy. I'm 60 and have owned a Zillion cars and worked on them all. I NEVER had this problem or even heard of it. I was going to take Mom for errands in HER car, cause she's too old to make it in my truck. All of a sudden I open the door and it smelled like someone poured 100 gallons of gas in the car. I.ve been driving it and there is NO leak at all.
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.
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?
What would be a reasonable explanation for the smell of gas inside and even outside your car before you turn it on in the morning and stays with it all day? Thanks any suggestions would be helpful
Is it possible to have a very strong gas odor outside of the truck kinda around the gas tank but not have a check engine light come on? I’m thinking it might be something with the EAP system, but I don’t have any lights on.
My 2018 Rogue smells like gas vapor for a few seconds when starting. No codes and the mechanic checked everything but the fuel pump and found nothing. He said if it was fuel pump it would throw a code and have performance issues, which there are none. He said he checked all hoses and connectors for cracks or looseness. Any other ideas?
Hello Sir @HVAC_Mechanic, I have a Suzuki Baleno petrol car from India. I notice a petrol smell during the morning start for about 10 seconds, after which the smell disappears. I do not see any fuel leaks anywhere inside the hood. I am not a mechanic, so how can I diagnose this issue myself? Note: The authorized Suzuki service center says there is no leak and everything is fine. However, they don't seem to want to spend time checking everything thoroughly. They are so lazy that they just say if it's not causing any major problems, I should simply drive it.
Went to the dealer 3 times for a gas smell. They replaced the fuel pump and O ring twice. They did the smoke test, and said it’s not leaking anywhere and they can’t figure out why it smells like gasoline. Now I have to park it on the driveway, because the gas smell is so strong, comes into the house from the garage. I suspect it is from the capless gas filler, but the dealer says it’s fine. I’m stuck.
my 99 camry has gas smell at the back park after driving. there is no smell inside the cabin at all. when the car is parked for abot 20 minutes, the gas smell goes away. i dont have a lift and can not check under the car 😁
Right now My Subaru smells like gas and has no power up hill or to go over 50mph. If I turn the steering wheel and make the gas shake I’ll get a small burst before it starts up again. Has a very bogged down sound as it starves for gas. It’s not the spark plugs or air filter or coil or gas pump, I also keep getting a flicker of lights in the car as if there is an electrical issue and it’s not a loose battery terminal,
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.
Im a woman that doesn't know much about cars. I have a gas smell under the hood on the drivers side. But i also hear something under the hood running aLot! What is it and how much to fix it?
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 ?
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
Dude ugh i dont have money to fix mine now but after driving when i exit the car it smells like gas but no leak😂😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I dont want my car catching fire man
@HVAC_Mechanic thank you for your reply. the reason why I asked is bcoz of another vlogger who deleted the vent hose to have more power specially going uphill.
You are so clear and straight!!!!
Super clear explanation sir!!
Good video!

What about the fuel tank caps cover

I.ve been driving it and there is NO leak at all.
I have a dealership that does thank there is anything wrong.
With a 2023 Jeep Wrangler with the gassy smell problem. No engine lights are anything
What if you only smell gas in the car when it is extremely hot outside with temps over 100?
I got the same problem
Run
Anyone got info?
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.
Bro thank you!!! I have a 2023 Transit that’s doing that only when it’s hot!!
Thank you for this!! Very helpful!

Facts same !
Check the fuel delivery system, some cars give you access through the backseat

Have you found the problem same issue with my g35

I am having the exact same issue. The fuel smell is stronger after my car has sat still. I don't have any leaks.
Did you guys solved the problem
I also have the same issue
Did you solve it?
On an NA Miata?
Very helpful.
My vehicle sputters while driving but also smells like gas in the engine compartment.
great video
Thank you!
Car sits in aArizona garage from April to late October….could this cause the fuel system to make a problem
If a vehicle sits too long, the fuel can become old and cause issues. There is fuel additives called Fuel Stabilizer that can help in some cases.
Im a woman that doesn't know much about cars. I have a gas smell under the hood on the drivers side. But i also hear something under the hood running aLot! What is it and how much to fix it?
Did u get it fixed u not alone I'm having same 😢😢
@@LindaCharles-ll6lmcould be the high pressure fuel pump, as there where they usually located.
i just changed my fuel pump and started having this problem, didn't have it before i changed the pump
Did you solve it? Probably your new fuel pump is giving higher pressure so there can be leaks in your fuel system which are are more visible now.
@@pithaller9791 yea it was fixed, the lid on the fuel tank has a rubber seal and the seal crystalised and broke so the vapor was leaking out
2015 jaguar xf has no check engine light .everything looks good car runs excellent but still has gas smell in cabin.only when running.???..

Hi,my 2007 Toyota smell like gas inside Only when i turn the AC on in the morning...once i run the car while doing errands it doesnt smell anymore
Did you fix it ? my car has same problem 😒
is it ok to delete or block the vent hose of the canister?
The vent valve needs to be open to let gas vapors out; otherwise, the nozzle at the gas pump will keep clicking off.
@HVAC_Mechanic thank you for your reply. the reason why I asked is bcoz of another vlogger who deleted the vent hose to have more power specially going uphill.
