can anyone shed some insight on this? when ever my ac is on and i stop moving i smell gas through the vents. it isnt very strong but it is noticable.

thanks for any help.

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.

that may be it russ. its only when the a/c is on, and i have noticed some oil around the oil fill tube. i bet the cap is fubar. ill give it a try and see what happens. thanks.
