    What would cause gas fumes to enter the cabin of my car when the a/c is on? Just checking for any advice on the issue, or if anyone has encountered it before. Thanks in advance!

    Its drawing in air from the engine bay when you have the selector on vent. The blower is pulling in the fumes into the cabin of the car. Check for fuel leaks around the engine bay or you could possible have an improperly working evap system.

    ya, the fumes are comming from the engine bay, the air from the bay enters the cabin via the vents. so i agree with sic6 check for leaks

    Thanks for the heads up, I had the car checked out and it looked like I had a mass build up of fuel coming from the injectors, and it was just sitting under the supercharger. I am so glad I took the car to the shop, because that was a recepie for disaster!!
