Thread: Gas smell on drivers side

What would cause a fairly strong gas smell on the drivers side of the car? It's a 98 GT and it gets worse when driving but can smell it a little bit after it's been sitting. It doesn't seem to be losing any gas but if it is it's insanely slow. After driving for about a half hour one time I got home and popped the hood and couldn't smell any gas. I also can't smell it from the back of the car and whenever I have a passenger they can't smell it on their side.

The fuel lines run down the drivers side, I'd be looking there.

look for the wet line under the car to the filter and then up to the tank.

I had a feeling everyone would say check the lines but wanted to see if a different idea might pop up. Right around the time the smell started the bracket holding the fuel filter rusted off the car. I took it all the way off but when i did it wasn't connected to the car anymore. Maybe the extra shaking is what did it and caused a line to leak somewhere.

theres two hoses off the filler neck, small one is the vent. my vent tube rusted off and i could smell gas pretty strong. patched it up with some rubber hose.

I had the same thing/smell, took gas line off and it did this
