emax Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Heyas, ummm over the last few months i have been getting a pretty strong smell of what seems to be petrol...i think. This happens whenever i start up my car, but once you drive off you can't smell it. It's been like this for awhile but we haven't done anything about it yet, what could be causing this? It never smelt when we had the car for the first few months after we bought it. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 WIth the hood open start up the car and see if you can find a source of leaking fuel that could be smelt inside the car. Check the vacuum hose to the regulator on the fuel injector manifold to see if it has gas in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 i'm not sure if your car pertains to the service buliton for the leaking gas tank... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay13 Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 If the gas tank was leaking it would have the smell all the time, not just when starting.The service campain for the fuel tank is for MY 1994-1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
