I have the smell of gas fumes coming through my air vents with the heat or a/c on. The smell gets stronger when I am sitting at a red light. I can even smell it when I walk by the front of the car when I just start it or even when its running. Any suggestions would be very helpful

have your evap canister purge checked scanning may show this or it may be broken or blocked line leading to canister. It should be smoke tested for leaks which only a garage can do
