What causes a gas fumes when the heater is on inside the 1995 altima when it is idling?
There is nothing that can cause a gas smell from your heater. There are however a few possible reasons why you experience a gas smell. One could be that fumes from the exhaust are entering the passenger compartment.The other possibility is that your heater could be leaking and what you are smelling is coolant or antifreeze as some people call it. The heater consists of a small radiator and a fan, it circulates hot water from the cooling system through the radiator and the fan blows air through the radiator just like the radiator in front of your car. There is nothing that can cause a gas smell during this process. Check to see if your exhaust system does no have a leak by holding a rag over the tailpipe and get someone to listen at the front. The chances are that the fan is drawing in exhaust gas and circulating themn in the passenger area.
