- Check for any visible leaks or cracks in the fuel tank.
- Inspect the fuel filler neck and cap for any damage or loose connections.
Fuel Lines

Fuel Injectors
- Faulty fuel injectors can leak fuel into the engine, causing a gas smell.
- This is more likely to happen if the injectors are old or damaged.
Carburetor
- If your car has a carburetor, it could be the source of the gas smell.
- Check the carburetor for any leaks or damage.
Exhaust System
- A gas smell can also come from the exhaust system, especially if there is a leak in the exhaust manifold or muffler.
