Gas Smell

[HowzeR]

Hey, I slightly smell gas when I turn on my heater. I had the dealer replace the two fuel lines in the engine. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thnx!

Take a look at the work they performed, if you see any leaks don't drive the car until it's fixed. If everything looks alright, they might have spilled a little fuel and didn't clean it up that well. In the second case it should go away after a few days or so. If the smell doesn't go away take it back to the dealer and have them look at it again.

hey

The lines have been replaced almost a year ago. I was taking my car back to Mr Transmission to drop it off over night for them to work on it tomm morning. But I smelled it when I had the heater on as soon as I passed a Texaco gas station. My gf thinks it was just from the station, but I still smelled it like a minute later when we were driving away. It just start happening outta no where. Doesnt make any sense.
