I am only guessing but I would thoroughly check the fuel lines and gas cap.

SOURCE: gas smell

check for leaks in the fuel line from the gas tank up to the engine bay.the humming sound you hear at the back is your wheel bearing.it needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: Gas smell coming from under the hood

it could be your head gaskets and thermostat going bad. those have to be fixed or your car will overheat and will cost tons of money to fixed...just went through the same thing

SOURCE: my car smells like gas inside too

not the catalytic converter. you have a fuel line leaking somewhere. check lines on top of motor at fuel rails.and line leading from tank to filter-filter to motor.

1993 LS 400. Starting out the car just is slow. It's not the tranny. Tranny shifts perfect including reverse. I smell gas. Old lady drove car the whole time. 118,000 miles

IF WHAT YOU SMELL IS RAW GAS THAT IS AN URGENT PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT BE PASSED OVER. IF YOU SMELL A ROTTEN EGG SMELL THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM THAT GIVES POOR ACCELERATION. CHECK FOR FUEL LEAKS AND CHECK FOR ENGINE VACUUM AT IDLE. MUST BE AT LEAST 19 INCHES,. IF NOT, YOUR CONVERTER IS PLUGGED.

My car has a rich gas smell then when it warms up smells like rotten eggs does it have something to do with the cadillac converter?

Maybe.
The rich gas smell is probably due to injector problems. The rotten egg smell is sulphur in the fuel, which reacts to the catalytic converter. The rich smell would need to be fixed first by checking the injectors and the engine computer.

I have a 1998 VW Beetle and I have a very strong gas smell in side and outside the car, I put a new catalatic converter LOL cant spell to good and it sometimes dont want to cut off. Yep it wants to ke

Are you able to determine where the fuel smell is coming from ? This is usually an indicator of a fuel leak. Why did you have to change the catalytic converter ? Is this the smell you are talking about ? Exhaust fumes are different smell from fuel leaks.

I have a 2000 Lincoln ls smells like rotten eggs. What could it b?

This is usually caused by the catalytic converter on the front of your exhaust system usually when its new and when you put your foot flat down on the accelerator. If you have this smell constantly, change your usual fuel supplier, or add an additive when you put fuel in it, quality of fuel also has an affect.

When i start my car you smell gas ,and it smoke.

HTML clipboard If you can smell gas ONLY when the engine is running, then the gas didn't get burned completely. It could be the combination of the computer, oxygen sensors, and/or catalytic converter is going bad. If you could smell gas when it's parked, you might want to take it to a mechanic to have your gas line checked for leaks and for pressure test. Here's a website that talk a little about gas smell www.mycarsmellsbad.com good luck.
