Hi there,
I smell fuell around the car and when I max the heater it actually can be felt even inside. I have checked everywhere for leaks, I can not see find anything. It is rampant when I turn off the car.
Any ideas b/f I take in to the service center?

Thanks

Inspect your fuel lines and check your fuel pressure regulator for leaks. If you can not locate the source of the gas smell take it to a professional for a complete fuel system check. Raw fuel vapor is very dangerous around your hot motor and exhaust.

In case you checked out what Mike mentioned and still do not find any leaks

you can also check your canister for crack, canister line, filter.
