intermittent fuel odor

I have been smelling fuel ordor at times, very slight and then it`s gone. However, I`ve searched high and low for leaks and there`s none in sight.

Could this be the canister or purge valve? Please advise!


Best Regards

Andre

Check your brake booster line. If the check valve in it leaks, you will smell gas when you're boosting.
