Want this question answered?
It is not safe to drive a vehicle with a fuel leak, but if this is the only way to get it to be fixed, be careful that the leak is not that bad if you drive it. A trickle is bad, any more than that and driving it would not be advised.
Generally no
no it isn't safe to drive.gas is highly flameable,and a gas leak will only lead to self destruction.
Yes, IF the leak is not so severe as to overheat the engine. Any coolant leak needs to be repaired as soon as possible to prevent engine damage caused by overheating.
Could be compressor seals,loose fitting, bad scrader valve, bad condensor, bad drier/accumulator--many possibilitiesAnswertry changing your evaperator that's probly were yoyr leak is drive safeAnswertry changing your evaperator that's probly were yoyr leak is drive safe
NO
you probably have a leak that drains your pressure when it sits, and that's what you smell. it is not safe to drive with a fuel leak
Yes! Just make sure you don't let the level get below minimum on the dipstick. Check the dipstick while the car is running weekly or daily depending on how much you drive. My truck has been leaking for 10 years. Also, adding a good quality "Stop leak" additive actually helps. It won't stop the leak but it will slow it down.
The safe answer is probably not. When someone is stepping on the peddle, if you can visibly see fluid squirt out, then don't even try it!!!IF it is a very minor leak you might get by with it, but those things have a bad habit of blowing out at the worst possible time resulting in full loss of braking ability. Even a minor leak indicates a weak spot in the line. When you consider the amount of pressure building up in that line under a hard stop, you will realize that it just isn't safe to try and drive it on any road until it is fixed.I would say that only if the shop is very very close, and the leak is more of a seep then an actual leak would I attempt to drive it to the shop.
If you can clearly smell gas there may be a leak and I would suggest that you have it checked asap. It may be a minor repair but never take chances with a possible gas leak.
The opposite of drive safe is careless driving.
it is safe to drive slower because you could get in a car accident if you drive really fast
