Default Re: Need the GURUs - Starting issues and gas smell

If youre smelling fuel towards the rear of the vehicle, 3 things come to mind.

1. Possibly the vapor recovery tube is loose. Its that thin narrow tube either next to or along the main fuel inlet piping that goes from the inlet towards the fuel tank.

2. Bad seal gasket on the fuel cap. Today's gas caps are vented and have that round rubberized gasket to help create a seal at the fuel opening.

3. cracked fuel tank......possible but unless you see fuel leaking, not probable.
