1 Answers
There are several reasons why there might be a gasoline smell in the car: 1. Residual odor from disassembling or installing the fuel tank; 2. Dirt buildup on the fuel injectors and throttle body due to lack of cleaning, leading to incomplete combustion of gasoline; 3. Aging rubber hoses of the carbon canister; 4. Leakage at the fuel pipe connections. Here are some methods to address the gasoline smell in the car: 1. Clean the fuel injectors and throttle body promptly; 2. Replace the aging rubber hoses; 3. Tighten or repair the connections and replace the sealing gaskets; 4. Visit a repair shop to check if the fuel pump is installed correctly and whether further cleaning is needed around it; 5. Use the air conditioning in recirculation mode and open the sunroof to ventilate.
