  • Gas smell-AC?

    My friend Suzy has a 92' and I posted here a while back but couldnt narrow down what she was talking about. But now she says she smells gas when the AC is going. I told her to stop running it. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that smell? Thanks, her health depends on you knowledgeable folks.

    check the fuel line out that runs from the tank(under the carpet under the back seat on the drivers side) to the fuel filter under the master cylinder on the drivers side also

        Thanks guys, so I saw that the common things you mention was the fuel filter and pump . the car seems to be pumping fuel just fine.so I changed the fuel filter and she said it worked! So my question would be why did that fix a smelly ac? The filter old filter didnt seem to be leaking or anyting so I just changed it anyway. Anyhow, 3 days later and so far so good. So what about the fuel pump? it seems to work fine but is it inside the fuel tank? Thanks dudes , you helped alot. She knows nothing about cars and I know enough to not mess up her car so Im glad to help her with some help here.

            whoops,

            missed something also

            check the fuel canister purge solenoid mounted on the firewall next to the windshield wiper motor

            it has a vacuum line from the intake manifold and from the canister-- under your master cylinder

              Thanks for the reply. Well, I talked to her tonight and it turns out that changing the filter didnt eliminate the smell. So I will check out this Fuel canister purge solenoid, that sounds like something that could be a culprit here. I need to have her buy the book. But it shouldnt be hard to find with your description of it. Thanks again.
