About four weeks ago my car started smelling gassy. The problem has gotten worse over this period of time. Now when I drive it and park it in my garage, the fumes are overwhelming. I haven't necessarily noticed it using gas more quickly but it may.

Hi:
chances are you have a fuel line that has rusted through. Check on the driver's side under the car. You will see steel fuel lines running from the tank to the engine. If you follow it, check for wet spots. Also, check on and around the tank for evidence of a leak (stains).

Let me know what you find.

Joe
