Smell of gas?
If you smell gas from your vehicle it probably indicates a leak. Even a tiny leak will produce a fuel smell.

What causes the smell from air conditioning in a 2002 Tacoma?
AnswerYou probably have mold growing in the system. You should be able to find something at the auto parts store to kill it off. To keep it from coming back, you should always run the fan (even if just on the lowest setting) to keep moisture from building up in the system. Leaking freon from your evap. may cause a smell if you have a substantual leak.

2000 Sebring mildew odor comes from vents when you turn on heater or AC Also you have to replace freon about every 2 or 3 weeks I know I have a leak where how do I find where its leaking?
I don't know how to solve the odor problem, but I can give you an idea on detecting the freon leak. If the leak is not visually apparent, the next time you add freon, use one can of freon with leak detector. It is usally red in color and you will be able to see where it leaks from.
Your ac is slowly leaking freon- the tech came out and added more but finding the leak is lots of how long will the freon last and does turning the ac off stop the leak or can it leak while off?
If it leaks it leaks. Central units are self contained with no external rotating shaft seals to leak. If the tech came out and added freon without detectng the leak, either he did exactly what you directed, or he is a BS artist hoping for a repeat job.
