What Causes the Smell of Gasoline Inside the Wuling Zhiguang?

[IanFitz]

Here are the reasons for the smell of gasoline inside the car: 1. Cracked gasoline pipe in the engine compartment: In this case, as the vehicle moves, the leaking gasoline odor can enter the cabin through the gaps between the engine and the driver's compartment. This situation is very dangerous and could potentially cause a fire, requiring high vigilance. 2. Damaged fuel tank cap seal: If the seal on the upper small cap of the fuel tank is cracked or damaged, gasoline fumes will escape. Generally, the fuel tank is located under the rear seats of the car. There is a small round cap for maintenance and placement of the fuel pump and fuel gauge sensor, secured with several small bolts. If this cap or seal is damaged, a strong gasoline smell will quickly enter the cabin. 3. Malfunctioning or damaged gasoline carbon canister or connecting pipes: The carbon canister, which may be unfamiliar to many, is an environmental protection device that absorbs gasoline vapors from the upper part of the fuel tank. It contains a certain amount of porous activated carbon, which strongly absorbs gasoline vapors to dilute them when the fuel tank cap is opened for refueling, reducing environmental pollution. If the air pipe below the fuel tank carbon canister is blocked or the upper exhaust control valve is damaged, gasoline fumes may enter the cabin when the car is parked.
