90LS400Lexus Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Does the fuel smell like its coming from the engine bay? Do you smell it inside the cabin? If you smell it outside of the car, especially toward the back it could be your fuel cap not venting properly. (When I see someone say "they smell gas", I think of that episode of Andy Griffith where Barney buys that 1954 Ford Custom Sedan and everyone says they smell gas when they get in it. His reply was, "OF COURSE YOU SMELL GAS, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS CAR RUNS ON... COAL?!". :D) Seriously, I hope you figure it out. Like Eat said, if the smell is coming from the engine bay, have it inspected posthaste without delay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
