Car smells like gas after driving 2003 ford Taurus ses?
Make sure the fuel tank cap is on correctly. Open the hood and look for a leak. Look under the car for a leak. Use your eyes, nose and brain. If you can't find it, take it to the shop.
Was it over filled with fuel?
There's vents one could have gotten blocked with fuel. If that is the case, don't put that last 50 cents in.
Or do what previous reply suggest.
Gas is leaking.
You could have a gas leak. Observe your MPGs for a loss. Alternatively, your charcoal canister may be saturated and need replacement or other treatment. There could also b a broken vacuum hose or valve involved. Ask mechanics, they will probably know exactly what to look for.
Get it looked at as soon as possible. Gas fumes are highly volatile. Have a look with a friend as two pairs of eyes are better than one. Under hogdunder car. If we have. Smell all the time then check cow 'wet' spots or puddles on floor. W can use toilet paper tissue or tissues for nose to dab around suspect areas see if they get 'wet' . We can try. Just Turing on ignition and having fun pump pressurise system .see if that induces a leak/smell. Otherwise we can start engine and check at idle with hood open still. Try removing fuel filler cap as tank vent may be blocked? In any case. Do not drive if high level of fumes. Have a garage check it out as will be used to looking for such things and can easily lift car to check underside etc. Safety is. Your main concern, do not smoke when we smell fumes and ideally. Do not use phones!

- Ford Taurus smells hot after driving? I have a '99 Ford Taurus SE, 24 valve V6 It smells hot when we get home from any trips. I constantly have to check the oil in it. The car dealer we got it from had a newer engine put in it after it ran out of oil and seized up. I swear I did regular maintenance to it. 5 quarts of oil burns pretty fast inside a month. Something was wrong with the first engine. Are these engines notorious for problems? It's the only thing we have ever had issues with on the car.
