    A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS PRESENT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS RESTARTED AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A WHILE. THE ODOR COMES THROUGH THE AIR CONDITIONING/HEATER VENTS AND IS BLOWN INTO THE DRIVERS COMPARTMENT. IT APPEARS TO BE A LEAK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WHICH ALLOWS GAS VAPOR INTO THE VEHICLE. GASOLINE CAN CAUSE CANCER AND IT A HEALTH RISK FOR ANYONE BREATHING VAPORS.*AK

    THE VEHICLE EMITS A STRONG FUEL VAPOR SMELL, WHICH IS EASILY NOTED RISING FROM THE ENGINE, WHEN IT IS SHUT OFF HOT. THE VAPORS GET INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, THROUGH THE AIR VENTS, WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IDLING OR DRIVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC. TURNING THE VENTILATION CONTROL TO OFF STOPS THE SMELL INSIDE. THE VEHICLE ALSO IS GETTING ONLY 15-16 MPG IN MIXED SUBURBAN/HIGHWAY USE.
