You are smelling gas because you have a gas leak somewhere. This can be very dangerous so have this repaired immediately.
How can you smell gas when I start MY 97 jimmy - most strange!.
after start car smell gas why?
I don't have an '85 Cadillac, but with carburated engines the easiest way to start them after runing out of gas is to open your airfilter and pour gas directly into the carburator. I :}
You need to put more gas in it
Ran out of gas in my suberban now won't start but can smell gas
yes
If the oder is way strong, you might have a gas leak.
because your engine is going to break down or when you start the car if the whether is cold, it makes it smell like gas
You will need to add gas to the car and let it sit for a moment. Then turn the ignition and start the car. You may need to pump gas a time or two to get it started.
go buy some fuel. if it doesnt start check fuel pump.
yes nd it will also give of a oily smell with it
If you smell gas there is most likely a leak. Star looking around for possible leak places ie. rotted gas tank,rotted gas lines from tank to carb,rotted filter,rotted filler tube. Remember it is 40+ years old and things rot. Use both your eyes and nose to locate the source. The stronger the smell the closer you are to the problem.
