I just recently bought my 1st Z at the end of May(07 Enthusiast Coupe Carbon Silver) and this is my first post. I now have 1500 miles on the car. I have been driving it just for fun and a few times a week til my daily driver (98 Honda Civic) got a flat last week. I haven't got time yet to get a new tire so I have had to drive my Z to and from work. The issue here is I have noticed that when I get home me and my clothes smell like Gas or Exhaust (Like a petrolium smell). I was wondering if anyone else with an 07 has noticed this. I did crank up the air on it this morning and noticed the smell comming from the air vents. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

 

go to the dealer

 

Welcome. There should not be a odor of fuel in any vehicle. Take it in and have it checked .

 

as mentioned above there should be NO gas smells or fumes coming from your car. If it's coming through the A/C vents then that is a serious issue. (carbon monoxide + you = crash)

 

You shouldn't be driving that car if you smell gas like that. Definitely get it checked man before something happens to you.....and the Z too =]

 

welcome to the forum. About the gas smell, don't worry about, every Z generates that smell -- it's designed to differentiate Z owners from the rest of the inferior humankind wtf get it check out man! lol, bring it to the dealer asap, gl.

 

definately not good...

 

i had a similar issue in my 04 Z.

it turned out that the fuel line connection under my hood had become loose and was spurting gas all over the place.

Option 1- could have taken it to the stealership. I would have been without my car for a few days while they figured it out, and they would have charged me a couple hundred bucks to fix it.

Option 2- Go to autozone and buy a pack of hose clamps for 49 cents. Install in parking lot.

I have been driving the car ever since. No more gas problem.

Pop your hood and look around. if you don't see anything out of the ordinary, then i would go to the dealership. Make sure your engine is running when you are looking around.

 

Thanks Guys... It's not been so bad the past few days, But I will still let them check it out... Love my Z so far!

 

Just a tip ->I wouldn't smoke inside the car if I were you.

But definately take it back to the dealer.

 

Was it out of warranty? How many miles were on it?

bill
