Plugged, dirty or poorly connected fuel injector; Leaking fuel filter or fuel filter connections; Punctured or damaged fuel tank; Loose or poorly connected fuel pump; Gas in gas can in trunk. = IN ADDITION TO THAT ANSWER, PONDER THIS... CARS HAVE A VACUUM FUEL CANISTER THAT MAY INCORPORATE A FILTER OF ITS OWN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CONDITION MAKES THIS TANK TAKE ON FUEL (ITS AN OVERFLOW TANK, OF SORTS). HAVE THESE ITEMS CHECKED BY A MECHANIC YOU TRUST. HOPE THIS HELPS ! ! !
if you can smell gas whether the car is running or NOT that means you have a leak in your fuel system if it was not a leak, you would not smell it when not running . first thing is check under vehicle after overnight parking and see if there is fuel on the ground if there is , this will give you a starting point where to look for gas leak
Your 1996 Escort might smell like gas when it is not running because of a damaged gas tank or damaged fuel lines. Leaking injectors or a leaking tank can also cause that smell.
I have the same problem on my ford taurus please help
No. All you get is smoke and steam. Not smoking stops the smell. Running water like that waste water as well.
exhaust leak or its running really rich
They have perfume running through the vents. Wash your clothes to get the smell out or it'll smell like that FOR A LONG TIME.
They are adapted to living in the desert. You can imagine what an animal would smell like if it lived in hot, arid conditions and wasn't washed regularly. Also, camels urinate down their legs as a cooling mechanism.
because your engine is going to break down or when you start the car if the whether is cold, it makes it smell like gas
your vehicle may smell like antifreeze while driving because it is overheating
When you would like to do something else while having another program running.
A gas leak somewhere. Check the injectors and make sure the cap is on tight.
could be anything from an O2 sensor to bad wiring. Need to hook it up to a tester.
Could be the Purge Control Valve.
