What should I do, I smell gas.

Posted on 5/3/2024


I want to emphasize the critical importance of addressing any instances where you might smell raw fuel in your vehicle. This is not only a significant safety concern but could potentially lead to hazardous situations, including fires. The odor of gasoline indicates that there may be a fuel leak somewhere in your vehicle.



There are several common culprits behind the smell of fuel. It could be due to a faulty fuel filter. Your fuel filter is essential for keeping contaminants out of your fuel system. The issue might stem from the engine itself, possibly due to issues with fuel injectors or seals. Fuel lines, which transport fuel from the tank to the engine, could be damaged or deteriorating, and the fuel tank itself might have leaks or cracks. Each of these scenarios requires immediate attention to prevent further damage or dangerous outcomes.


Give us a call and let us take care of you. 


Happy Adventures,


Heather
