Car hesitates when starting, and there is a strong odor of gas. The check engine light does not come on, and after it starts it runs good. Does not seem to have any leaks.

Good morning.

If you smell fuel there is a leak. Have someone look at the entire system from the tank up to the engine including the injectors. The v6 is tough to see the rear bank of injectors.

It needs to be done ASAP as a fuel leak is a potential for a fire.

Let us know what they find so we can further assist you.

Thanks Roy,
The leak got so big that I finally saw it squirting out of the fuel damper. She is now in the shop getting repaired.
Thank you very much for your time and help.
Take care,
Robyn
