Default I smell gas..

..no not a fart joke, but quite often I smell gas inside my car, I cant tell if its comming from another car or is it mine, Is there something I should check to see if its mine, I got out a few time to see if somethings leaking and I dont see anything or smell it on the car....

I wouldn't think that unless you actually see fuel on the ground you should worry, or mabey you are topping off and there is a little bit sitting inside your gas door. If you had a leak your car will throw a code.

Have you had your fuel pump replaced due to the TSB that was issued? Another member here did and the dealership messed up the install and caused a fuel leak.

Aren't the fuel pumps accessed under the rear seats?
Sniff back there>>>

Just light a match...


When you smell the gas, pop the hood and maybe at least you can tell if it's coming from around the engine or from the tank. Even the smallest leak from one of the high pressure lines will make a very noticable smell.

Yes I have a tune, and I smell it at high RPMs some times like over 4000 or high speeds over 95MPH...not everytime though....and what does a "tune running rich" mean???
