Now getting gas smell in car only when you turn the heater on. Has anyone else had this problem. Is there a charcoal filter or anything that needs replacing?

 

I have the same problem, I posted about it a couple of days ago and no one answered.... Anyone know whats going on???

 

i have the same problem but its cuz my exhasut is rusted throught in like 5 spots... good luck

 

I was thinking it was my y-pipe. Maybe I didnt put in my crush gasket in correctly making a little leak in the exhaust. But I dont know maybe someone else does.

 

i think i got the same problem.

 

Im just starting to think its normal, i mean this only started when it got cold here. Today its not cold and im not smellin it anymore. How about you guys?? Was it cold outside when you smelled this??

 

I had a really strong smell of gas on Monday when it was like 13 degrees for a high...

it hasnt done it again...

 

I Had the same problem. Drove me nuts for weeks. Turned out to be a split O-ring in the top of the gas tank(Fuel pump access cover). Mine would get real bad after filling the tank. Other things to look at would be your fuel filter and gas lines. I don't think a leaky exhaust would cause a gas smell unless your engine is running really bad.

 

I just had this happen and found the rubber fuel hoses near the fuel rail leaking at start up. check this at first start up of the day. at 1st I tried just to tighten the clamps but it came back, so I got some 5/16 FI hose and some new clamps and replaced the ones leaking. so far ,so good.

 

it isn't that cold today and i didn't smell it out of my heater at all.

 

Yea it only happens when it is cold and I have the heater or defroster on. otherwise, it is fine. This is on a 95'. i'm thinking charcoal filter or something maybe be clogged. It is not a exhaust leak but seems to be blowing in thru the heater.
