What Causes a Gasoline Smell Inside the Car?

[DelGraham]

The reasons for a gasoline smell inside the car are as follows: 1. Leakage at the gasoline pipe connection: A leak at the gasoline pipe connection allows gasoline fumes to enter the car through the air conditioning system. Open the engine compartment cover to check for leaks, and if found, tighten the connection promptly or visit a repair shop for maintenance. 2. Aging rubber hoses: Rubber hoses in the engine compartment can deteriorate over time, especially in older vehicles, potentially causing gasoline to leak into the engine compartment. The air conditioning system can then draw these fumes into the car. 3. Issues with the gasoline vapor canister: Problems with the gasoline vapor canister, often due to overfilling the fuel tank for extended periods, can lead to saturation of the activated charcoal inside the canister, preventing it from effectively restoring its activity.
