29. Fuel odors. Does your car smell like Gasoline?

I get this question ALL the time: "Why does my car always smell like gasoline?"

Here are a few common culprits:

• 1.  Loose or leaking fuel injector hose clamps
• 2.  Loose or leaking clamps on the fuel supply and return hoses
• 3.  Loose or leaking clamps (seeing a pattern here?) on the fuel lines in the trunk
• 4.  Cracked or split fuel lines
• 5.  Leaking fuel tank (it happens!)
• 6.  Rusting fuel tank bottom, particularly on the XJS.
