    gas smell

    I filled my car all the way up....to the top and I have a gas smell that wil not go away and its rather strong....thoughts? I was thinking maybe the o-ring to the cover of my fuel pump housing?

    Could be anywhere but check the hoses around the fuel filter, they get brittle after time and the clamps get loose.

      I have the same issue, feel free to jack your passenger side up, and tell me if it starts dumping fuel. I did that and lost about a quart in a matter of seconds.
