Gas Smell Around My Lx450

[Mojo]

I noticed today in the garage theres a strong gas smell on the driver side, but its not coming from the gas cap, haven't crawled under yet, Any Ideas?

Thanks Joseph

Joseph,

You may have already got the answer to this on another site that had a similar post around the same time, but the word is that if you overfill your gas tank, you can saturate the charcoal canister resulting in a heavy fuel smell. Apparently once the damage is done, there is no real fix for this problem besides replacing the pricy charcoal canister.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice, I would think that the filter would eventually evaporate the gas out.? I crawled under and didn't see anything.

I have had this suv for over a year and I still love it totally!!!!
