I have chevy camaro 97 z28 5.7L & usually Im smelling a fuel smell from outside the car. I tried to know the source of this smell & I found that its coming from the fuel tank refilling cap. full fuel tank will ride me for only 200 mile & I found on internet that the full fuel for my car will ride around 250 mile. so I want to know is this fuel consumption for my car is normal?? why this smell coming? is there a problem in the cap itself?? by the way I live in dubai & that's mean A/C working always because of the wheather & a lot of traffic
50 miles reduction in the conditions mentioned means that your economy is about right
there is a small hose back from the tank to under the cap to release air trapped when filling
koses can get loose , crack or break
tank sender units gaskets can break down
look around the tank area for the leak /smell
a damp patch in the dust is a good give away

Check for obstruction in front of radiator/condenser that would cause loss of airflow through the core.Sometimes these cores get clogged with bugs or debris and airflow is deminished. The reason for overheat with A/C on is that the condenser adds to the heat in front of the radiator and if there is not enough airflow then the engine also runs hot because radiator can not be cooled sufficiently.
hope this helps

ok the fuel in your tank is expanding and vaporising constantly, because you live in such a warm climate it pressurises the tank too much and the cap vents, you could try a new cap, but honestly unless you are feeling light headded when you pull up to the lights cause of all the fumes i wouldnt worry, just dont block the breather youll pop your tank.
