Why Does the Car Smell So Strongly of Gasoline?

[SamuelAnn]

Reasons for a strong gasoline smell in the car: 1. Aging rubber pipes in the carbon canister; 2. Leakage at the gasoline pipe interface; 3. Residual smell from disassembling the gasoline tank; 4. Dirt buildup on the fuel injectors and throttle body due to long-term lack of cleaning, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline. Methods to address a strong gasoline smell in the car: 1. Replace the aging rubber pipes; 2. Tighten and repair the interfaces, replace the sealing gaskets; 3. Visit a repair shop to check if the fuel pump is installed correctly and whether further cleaning is needed around it; 4. Use the air conditioner in recirculation mode and open the sunroof for ventilation; 5. Clean the fuel injectors and throttle body promptly.
