Why Does My Car Smell Like Gasoline?

[DiBethany]

Here are the possible reasons for the smell of gasoline inside the car cabin: 1. The carbon canister vapor return pipe in the engine compartment may be cracked. 2. There might be a leak in the fuel supply line. This condition usually occurs in older cars that are 3 to 5 years or more. 3. The rubber hose connecting the fuel filler neck to the fuel tank in the trunk may have aged, or the metal clamp at the connection may be loose. Replacing the hose or tightening the clamp should resolve this. 4. The gasoline tank may have been overfilled, causing gasoline to enter the carbon canister through the fuel line. As a result, when the carbon canister releases vapors, it may also release gasoline. If the car's air conditioning is in the outside air circulation mode at this time, the gasoline smell can enter the cabin.
