NO, if you smell gas you have a gas leak. The fuel filter should be replaced every 36,000 miles. Replace the fuel filter and search for the leak.

Have you changed the bag lately? Or washed the filter? If you have a HEPA filter, they need to be cleaned regularly. Either replace it if your model requires it, or wash it in mild soap and water and let it air dry before you place it back in the vacuum. This should take care of the problem.

Kia Rio sputters on take off?

Most likely it is due to the fuel filter getting clogged. They are really cheap and easy to replace so this a good place to start. Could also be a dirty air filter, which is also cheap and easy to replace. If that doesn't fix it, it could be the sparks plugs getting weak or fouled. Most likely it's goona be one of those, and they are all usually replaced (except for the fuel filter) during a normal routine tune-up anyway, so if you haven't gotten your tune-up done lately now might be a really good time to do it. I hope this helped.
