Why Does My Car Have a Strong Gasoline Smell?

[SanRyder]

There are several reasons why your car may have a strong gasoline smell: Aging of Carbon Canister Rubber Hoses: In vehicles with high mileage, rubber components in the engine compartment are prone to aging. Gasoline Pipe Leakage: If there is a leak in the gasoline pipe, the smell of gasoline may enter the car through the air conditioning system. Residue During Fuel Pump Installation/Removal: Installing or removing the fuel pump is done inside the car, and some residue is inevitable during this process. If not cleaned properly, you may smell gasoline while driving. Overfilling the Gas Tank: If you fill the gas tank too full, gasoline may flow into the carbon canister through the pipes. The carbon canister, which is designed to collect gasoline vapors, will release excess gasoline vapors through the vent when filled with liquid gasoline. When the air conditioning is in external circulation mode, the gasoline smell enters the car.
