Alright guys, it's been raining here pretty heavily all week so my own deductive skills have been limited to when the weather wants to co-operate. But I thought I might pick some brains to see if anyone else has had the problem. I drive a 94 5sfe, and since saturday, I have a VERY strong smell of gasoline in the car. But unlike other problems I've read on this forum and others, mine is NOT while the car is running with the heater on. It's like it builds up in the car while it's off with the doors shut, I open it up and WHAM, it just hits you. I roll the windows down and turn the vents on, smell gets flushed and goes away. Any ideas about source?
I'm hoping it's strictly related to my level of fuel in the car. Being at college it only gets maybe 15 miles a week, and I filled it all the way up on saturday because i had .50 off a gallon. So I'm praying it has to do with my gas tank being really full and its some vapor hose or something that isn't taking the vapors out of the car. But i'm not really sure. let me know what you guys think Thanks Trace Oh, and I don't smell ANYTHUNG outside of the car either. --------------------  |
