Why does the car smell strongly of gasoline?
1 Answers
Reasons for a strong gasoline smell in the car: 1. The gasket inside the fuel tank cap is aged or uneven; 2. Long-term accumulation of dirt on the fuel injector and throttle body, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline; 3. The gasoline filter is dirty or the connecting hose fittings are loose and aged; 4. The gasoline vapor canister is dirty or malfunctioning; 5. The fuel tank connecting hose is aged and loose; 6. Poor sealing performance of the car. When the vent hole is blocked, the evaporated fuel vapor cannot be released and will escape elsewhere, causing a gasoline smell in the cabin. Therefore, when there is a gasoline smell in the car, you can use compressed air to blow through the vent hole to resolve the issue.
