i smell fuel in my car after 3mins of driving it so thick that i have to open a window
and it makes me dizzy

i look in the rear view mirror but i don't see anything leaking a trail behind my car so i don't know where it is comming from

i need help if anyone has been through this please lemme know what you did to cure this i can't stand having to open a window when the temperature is decreasing
 
Sounds like you have a dangerous problem. OMG First off you should stop driving your car until you find the leak. Gas is flamable you know. I'd start by checking anything that was done to the fuel system recently, then I would visually inspect all parts of the fuel system. I would start by looking at the easier stuff first, like the injector o-rings, fuel rail, fuel tank, and all lines from the pump to the rail and back to the tank. You will need to remove the rear seat to inspect then upper part of the tank. It may also be helpful to have the key on so the fuel pump is running to have pressure in the system. It sounds like a big leak it should be fairly easy to find. If not just have patience and keep on looking-you'll find it. :thumb:
