2000 Audi s4 has strong smell of gasoline

I just pulled into the garage and noticed a strong gasoline smell.
My husband said he heard a sort of subtle "clanking" sound as I pulled in. I am afraid to start the car until the gas smell goes away. It drives fine, it has about 70,000 miles. I filled it up yesterday.

Pop the hood and check all the fueling lines, then check your gas tank and see if you just spilled some. Then check your exhaust pipes because you are probably running rich. You may need to change your spark plugs, or possibly a mass air flow sensor, or oxygen sensors. you should get either a vagcom to scan it or an OBD-II scanner.

Strong gasoline fumes when vehicle is parked, what causes this?

first of course is to look for leaks second, get the emissions and recirculation canister and related stuff looked at..be careful here because this could ultimately explode in the garage..park it outide if nessecary...and dont overfill the cars' tank,, too many people do this and get fuel inside all the overflow tubes..not a good thing.. fill until the hose turns off once and stop....good luck...

Gas smell inside a car

I purchased a 93 Villager in 1999 and it developed a gasoline smell inside. The problem was the fuel filler hose / pipe that was covered by a manufacturer's recall. It was repaired by the Mercury dealer at no cost to me. You should contact the local Mercury dealer. This year Villager also had a problem with the crankshaft breaking, although they never had a recall for that problem, the crankshaft diameter was increased for the 94 and newer models.

Strong odor of gasoline vapors

do u have a check engine light on? do u overfill the tank? which is to say when the filler nozzle clicks off do u still try to put more fuel in? in any event u most likely have a overloaded carbon canister, pull the canister out and check it for gasoline saturation, the carbon canister is located under the car in a tray near the fuel tank.
