mafpolo Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have a pristine 2002 with 82,000 miles on it. It has been maintained by the dealer, and maintained properly. I was on reserve yesterday…until the low fuel warning. I filled up. Today has been fine until I got into the car to come home tonight….the interior stunk like gas. I got home and opened the hood, and the smell was really strong. What could be wrong? I parked outside, so that the fumes didn't fill up the garage.

curiousB Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 did you overfill and get a splash around the fuel door and entry hoses? Not install fuel cap and click it down fully? Gasket shot on fuel cap? Lay down some plain paper under the car near the fuel door and see if any dripping when car id idling. You are wise to keep car outside until this is sorted.

Nad24 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I wonder if my SC430 needs this part in the video I posted, to stop the fuel smell in the interior, as when I open the fuel cap it has a pressure release.
