SOURCE: gasoline smell off and on

Have them check EGR tubes, and any hoses, or tubes running to the exhaust. My guess is ones leaking while driving & getting drawn up into the incoming air at the cowl.

SOURCE: Smells like gasoline in car when it's in idol

Take a look around engine with flashlight and follow fuel lines from throttle body, as far as you can until they go under the car out of sight. A fuel leak is not something to fool a round with if your not experienced in repairs. Your safety & others is at risk, have it checked out a.s.a.p.

Why does my car smell like gasoline then and also having it smell like gasoline too?

The gasoline tank is leaking and needs to be replaced. Or the fuel lines need to be replaced. . If you can smell gas or spot a drip or a leak underneath your car check to see if you can to see if there is any gasoline that is leaking or dripping down on the ground That is a sign that your gasoline leak is somewhere higher up in the engine like a leaking fuel injector or bad engine seals and the fuel injector and the engine seals need to be replaced. You should take your car to a mechanic to have it be looked at and see what the problem is and if anything needs to be replaced.

Gasoline smell when the cars is stopped at a stop

Sounds like a fuel leak from the fuel rail check the rail and the pipe that feeds it.You have a leak buddy and when your driving the smell gets blown away.

Gas Smell

check under hood while it is running to see if there is gasoline dripping anywhere. You need to find it before it catches on fire. Use a bright flashlight and look at the fuel injectors and loser intake manifold as injector o-ring could be leaking. DO NOT use a lighter. Sorry, but I had to stress this. Gasoline does not burn. The fumes burn.

Check entire fuel system for leaks 99% of time wen you smell GAS.... there is a leak. So be very careful. Gasoline leaks can be very dangerous. If you had a tune up lately or changed a fuel filter that can be your problem because they are metal line then can be left loose accidentally. Check all fuel lines from fuel thank towards the engine compartment and you should be able to locate source of the smell. Good Luck and contact if you need more help. Thanks for using FIX YA
