So here is my problem.
The car doesn't smell like gas when it's just standing and idling. But after a 5 min drive, when I come to a stop and turn off my car and get out of the car. Right at the time when I open the door there is always a scent of gasoline, and then it just goes away. Do any of you have a problem like that, and if its dangerous or not? Thank you -------------------- <<AKA THA RUSSIAN>>

QUOTE(Valo666 @ Jul 11, 2005 - 8:19 PM) i got the problem and i know what it is. theres a small flex line (braided rubber) comin off the gas tank going up to the filler neck. Mine's got a small leak, like it leaks enough to smell it, and if the cars in the air you can see that the little hose clamp's bolt is coated in gas, the part costs like $10 or so from toyota, im replacing mine this week. But yea, i had that problem since about a week or 2 after i bought the car. I figured it out when i was workin on my car during school one day. Go to toyota and get them to pull up the diagram of the fuel tank and theres a small flex line goin off the tank to the filler neck.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 11, 2005 - 8:55 PM) pop your hood and see if its coming from the engine bay or the rear of the car. [right][snapback]311364[/snapback][/right] I dont know where its coming from, cuz it happens only when I open the door or go open the trunk. I did look into an engine bay today after a little ride and there is no gas smell around there. So I guess I have the same problem as Valo666 -------------------- <<AKA THA RUSSIAN>>
