Strong Gas Smell inside the car with the Heat on...
what could it be?
I know I have to clean the heater motor (under the front passanger storage).
But why the strong gas smell? I drove today in a 5F weather with windows open. Priceless. You know... carbon monoxide is no joking matter.
Please tell me it's no Head Gasket Issue...
Help appreciated,
David

Maybe once every ...
...couple of months I get that too.
Doesn't matter if a full or empty tank/outside temperature or anything else it seems. I will pull up to a light and get a strong wiff of gasoline too.
No codes
Replaced all the vacuum lines
No apparent leaks
When it gets warmer (currently -6) in Spring I am going to inspect the filler neck and lines in that area.

and that is why I asked....
once BUJAK said a gas smell then he said a CO smell.
Methinks he is mixing up the typical exhaust smell. a Gasoline smell from the front of the motor with no visible leak is unlikely.
However and exhaust leak from the passenger sid exhaust: manifold, cat, O2 etc. would be an understandable cause.
