This only happens to me after a long drive home in 85+ weather with a/c on. When i park in my garage i smell a slight fuel odor. Also every time i remove my gas cap its under a lot of pressure. Any ideas

 

It is normal for the gas cap to be under pressure. Check the fuel pulsation damper and the tops of the injectors. They are common causes of leaks. Don't drive the car untillyou find the problem or you risk a fire.

 

I agree.

Hopefully it is something simple like a leaky purge line, but don't assume it's minor until you're absolutely sure it's not a leaking injector, fuel line, or FPD.

 

Mine smelled real bad in the garage too. Sometimes I could smell it at a red light. It was a cracked primary injector for me.

 

If the smell comes from the engine bay it's definitely a serious issue and you should not drive the car. If the gas smell is strongest in the driver-side rear wheelwell, it's probably the charcoal canister which at least isn't going to start a fire, though you may not pass emissions. Mine is saturated, and I only get the gas smell in the garage after getting the car very hot, i.e. running it a while in slow/stop-n-go traffic on a hot day 80F+. Still test for leaks by grounding the F/P diagnostic terminal while the car is off and up on stands and look for leaks around the source of the smell.

 

y did u post this in the 2nd gen section too?

If your engine bay is fine but the fuel smell is strongest near the drivers side rear wheel well you may need to replace your charcoal cannister which is located above the drivers side rear differential.
