If you notice a gas smell coming from your car, it may be time to take it in for a check. Here are four easy ways to tell if your car is leaking gas:
- Look for puddles or wet spots on the ground near your car. If there are any, this means that gas is seeping out of the car and into the ground.
- Listen for strange noises coming from your car - like hissing or popping - when you start it up. This could mean that there’s a leak in the system somewhere, and gas is escaping into the air.
- Check your fuel gauge - if it’s dropping quickly, this could mean that there’s a leak somewhere in the system.
- Smell a sample of gasoline - if it smells like rotten eggs, this means that there’s probably been a leak and gasoline has been seeping into the soil or water nearby. ..
