I just repaired the same problem on my wife's 1994 Quest. there are several small maybe 3-4 inch hoses right under the intake air plenum that crack/rot over time, 2 of them were leaking on her van so I replaced them all. It is a relatively easy job, but often overlooked because of their location
check your o2 sensor...maybe bad and is requiring the engine to give more fuel as the car needs more fuel if its getting less air......
i smell gas fumes in 96 Nissan quest
No, gasoline is not odorless. It has a distinct and strong smell.
In general, if a gasoline odor is detected in the passenger compartment of a car, there is a leak in a fuel line. It should be repaired immediately because there is a danger of fire.
Because of what it is made from
Gasoline contains benzene,C6H6, which naturally forms in crude oil, and is furthur refined in gasoline used by our cars. It has a characteristic sweet smell. It is also a known carcinogen.
Yes, a smell is added to gasoline for safety reasons to help detect leaks and prevent accidents.
Gasoline has a strong, pungent smell that is often described as sharp or chemical-like. This distinct odor is due to the presence of volatile organic compounds in gasoline, such as benzene and toluene. These compounds evaporate easily at room temperature, releasing vapors that create the characteristic smell of gasoline. The human nose is sensitive to these compounds, which is why gasoline has a noticeable and recognizable odor.
only 2 reasons if here was no smell before changing filter. did you spill gasoline? the smell will go away. is the filter leaking?
no
I could be in the shower and I could smell gasoline at work at the mall in my house at all place at all times
Gasoline has a strong smell because of the chemicals it contains, such as hydrocarbons like benzene and toluene. These chemicals have a distinct odor that is easily detectable.
