Why is there a gasoline smell in the car after refueling?
1 Answers
After refueling, a strong gasoline smell in the car may be due to gasoline fumes entering the vehicle during the refueling process. You can try driving with the windows open to dissipate the smell. If the gasoline smell persists, it could indicate issues such as aging of the fuel tank sealing ring, leaks in the gasoline pipeline, or a damaged charcoal canister. It is recommended that the owner visit a repair shop as soon as possible for inspection to prevent potential hazards. Here is some information about gasoline: At room temperature, gasoline is a mobile liquid ranging from colorless to light yellow, difficult to dissolve in water, and highly flammable. Its distillation range is between 30°C and 205°C. When the concentration in the air reaches 74–123 grams per cubic meter, it can explode upon encountering a flame.
