Gasoline fumes while driving?
Thursday, November 10, 2005 12:01 PM
Hey guys,
Ok new problem. I was driving today, and noticed a strong gas fume in the air inside my car all of the sudden. I had been driving for about 20 miles since my gas fill- up, and didn't notice a problem until right before I got home. I assumed it was the Jeep ahead of me running rich, but after I got into my neighborhood, the smell continued. I popped the hood and noticed the smell, though not as strong. Any ideas? I disconnected my throttle body assembly the other weekend when replacing my alternator, but haven't had this problem until today, so I assumed it was still sealed. Maybe my injectors need replaced? My car is a hair under 100k miles so this wouldn't surprise me. Thanks a ton.

i hate fuel leaks, you can't ever pull over real quick and see where the leak is cuz it evaporates. its best to start with the cheapest stuff to replace.





GO PATS!!!

What if it were a fill-up at the gas station that didn't stop where it is supposed to? I checked my gas cap, and it had gas on the bottom of it as if gas had come back up the tank line.... is that a possibility?
