What Causes a Gasoline Smell Inside the Car?
1 Answers
The reasons for a gasoline smell inside the car are as follows: 1. Fuel vapor return pipe: The carbon canister fuel vapor return pipe in the engine compartment is cracked. 2. Fuel supply line: There is a leak in the fuel supply line. This condition usually occurs in older vehicles aged 3-5 years or more. 3. Rubber hose: The rubber hose from the fuel filler neck to the fuel tank in the trunk may have aged or the connector clamp may have loosened. Replacing the hose or tightening the clamp should resolve the issue. 4. Carburetor: The float chamber in the carburetor cannot stop the inflow of gasoline when full. Please take the vehicle to a workshop to clean the carburetor. Another possibility is that the fuel filter cup is overflowing due to excessive dirt, in which case the filter element needs to be replaced.
