RE: [DML] Gas smell from AC fan vents

You really should lock the gas cap or replace it with 
a non-locking cap. The lock mechanism is what tightens
the cap to the filler neck.

Another place to look for leaks is to remove the access
panel underneath the spare tire. This will expose the 
top of the fuel tank where the fuel pump and the
sending unit are installed. Examine the gaskets around
the fuel pump and the sender for checking or leaks. You 
can also examine the filler hoses and vent hose for leaks.

Subject: [DML] Gas smell from AC fan vents


Hi all,

It's been a while since I've had to write to the group. I'm having 
a gas smell that comes into the cabin through the vents (I think). 
When I first got the car last winter, I didn't notice this. But now 
when the weather is hot, I tent to really smell it when I pull off 
the highway and stop a light or something. I'm almost positive it is 
coming in through the AC vents.
