Really Strong Fuel Smell Hello. I have a 96 318ti, and when I went to get in it yesterday, I opened the driver door, and damn near passed out from the overpowering fuel smell inside the car. I aired it out, and then when I went to drive it this morning, it was just as bad. It smells like your sitting in a gas tank. There is no smell outside the car, just in the passenger compartment. It's pretty much undriveable, as the smell is really overpowering. Any ideas? |
