I have a 1995 Infinity Q45. When I turn on the heater I get a gasoline type odor very strong. There is no visible leaks. What can cause this?

If you smell it with the heater on, chances are there is a leak under the hood. Check the fuel rail, injectors, pressure regulator...

Let me know what you find.

I understand. Check around the injectors. There are o-rings that can leak. The leaks are difficult to see.
