Lately, I’ve been getting some fuel odor inside the passenger compartment. I cant find the source. Doesn’t matter if the tank is low or full. Gas cap is on tight. Usually something like this would be a bad hose or connection, but I cant find any wet spots along the fuel lines.
If I put my face near the rear where the filler & fuelpump hoses are, I don’t smell anything. If I look under the hood, I also don’t smell fuel. I crawled under & the filter & all visable hoses are dry. But the smell is so strong sometimes, I fear a fire hazard? Anybody ever get this before?
