inside of my car smells like gas???

[mr2guy7]

just like the title says... i cant smell it from outside the car, just the inside and my gas milage isnt that bad so i dont think its a leak... anyone else have/had this problem that can enlighten me???
edit--- forgot to mention that i have an s13 se coupe 1991 if it matters

You have to CHECK the fuel lines just to be safe.

[Jdotsturn]

check the gasket that goes where fuel pump is. I had the same problem.

[kandyflip445]

Check the fuel lines.

Most likely it's the o-ring sealing the fuel pump assembly.

yea guys me too
i hate it
the thing is when i turn a corner hard it smells like mad
but i never see a leak
i think its the o ring
can i get this o ring at the dealer??

[crazyikimasho]

Yes, the o-ring can be found at the dealer. Most dealers should stock it. We always have it. However, Id check the o-rings on your injectors to make sure its not leaking there also.

[kandyflip445]

Or the hoses that lead to the fuel rail. Mine busted. Like a 2 min fix.

[SiI40sx]

btw careful with the o-ring, its such a bitch and like to expand when u take it off and doesnt wanna go back into place like it should, my 240 style remedy for that, cut the ring the desired length and get some electrical tape and re-connect that bitch :D

[kandyflip445]

That's ghetto. lol Just replace it if needed.

[DP_Michelle G]

I have the same problem i replaced the o-ring and it's still like that. lines are ok. dont know what else it could be. i think the tank may have a leak in it.

[!Zar!]

Time to replace your o-ring, as well as all the fuel lines.

Being as how the car is so old, the fuel lines are dried out.

Neglect it like someone I know, and the car will burn down.

[mr2guy7]

anyone know where i might find a write up on how to change out the o-ring... thanx alot for all the responses guys i appreciate it!
also pics would be a plus

ya my car smells also, mines a hatch. does anyone have this problem with a coupe? i remember some cars ive ben it when you open the gas tank it hisses. because of the preasure in the system. mine doesnt do that.

i say:
1. get a new gasget, if still smells
2. check lines
3. drop tank see if it has a hole.
0. and if my tanks f**ked then im gettin a fuel cell :)

[Jung918]

Anyone know what size the hoses are?

[dan240]

Mine is a coupe and has had the tank dropped once before (~5 years ago) and its doing it again.

+1 for a fuel cell!!

i have a 1995 and it smells bad, i replaced all the rubber fuel hoses under the hood and it still smelt, it only does it while i am driving with the windows open, if there closed it will go away, i did figure out it was coming from the rear so i dropped the tank and replaced all the rubber hoses on rear, put everything back together and it still does it, i just said fuck and drive around with the a/c on

[Likethunda]

hate to bring up such an old thread but im having the same Problem

I am not leaking Gas, but i smell it on the inside of my car, not on the outside..

someone above mentioned that the smell comes really bad when you hit a turn.. and its the same for me

when i hit a turn hard, i can smell the gas really bad....

i will check the fuel pump gasket,

if anybody else has solved this. Please help..

*also , would leaks on the Charcoal canister make bad gas smells ??

[jontron5000]

Anyone know what size the hoses are?

i wanna say 5/16, i'm not 100% positive tho so you might wanna check up on that

[BoostSlideWayz]

also check the line in your charcoal canister... if they is cracked under the car or anywhere its routed .. the fumes might be going into the car instead of it going to the canister.

Guys, Hatch or Coupe, koenigsegg or peterbuilt, it doesn't matter. Troubleshooting is the same process.
