When I start my car it has a strong gas smell from the front end. With the climate control on it's really strong. I have no ideal what to look for or what to ask a mechanic. Do I have a leak ? I see no gas on the pavment.

Fuel will usually evaporate before hitting the pavement. You need to have the fuel lines, fuel rail and injectors checked for leaks. Remember, any fuel leak is potentially dangerous.

Let me know if you have other questions.
