I smell fuel smell when driving my car. It's a 95 Infiniti
J-30 sedan. What could be causing this? And about how much should I pay for repair?

Remove the rear seat cushion and check for a service cover for the fuel pump.

Remove cover and check for fuel leakages from the fuel pump housing. If leaks are present, the fuel pump housing has to be repalaced.

Ensure the service cover is securely held in place to prevent fuel smell from getting to the cabin.

Cost varies so it is best to get a local quote.
