gas smell with ac on


Recommended Posts

In which car? Is it fuel inj? Anytime you smell gas, you need to check and tighten all your fittings. If a hose looks like it has any small crack in it you should replace it. This could turn into a real hazard, like in your Soob burning to the ground. That reminds me, do you own a fire extinguisher?

I had a verry similar problem. all it turned out to be was a loose fitting oil cap was letting the crank case vapors out. only at a stop with the a/c or vent blowing. all I did was to twist the cap back a little to make it seal better. no more smell.

 

now a raw fuel smell is different. look for leaks along the lines and fittings.
