    remove your rear seats and check if the fuel tank is sealed from the top and is not leaking, might be a broken or worn out seal.

        leak somewhere then. Check fuel lines? check tank it self?

        Leave car parked somewhere on a clean surface and check if any leaks drop onto the floor over night or something.

            a droplet of fuel evaporates in under 20 seconds, so forget this...

            wongy - when was last service? what items were changed?

            but yeah, agree with Flippit - sounds like you have a serious and potentially VERY dangerous problem...

            get you car seen by a experienced person ASAP.

              so it doesn't smell like fuel? just gas? deff check for leaks, sounds dangerous.

                Unless you disturbed something around the top of the fuel tank. Id start looking at the bottom were it could potentially get hit!!!!!!

                  yeah, good point Karl - have a look at passenger side for damaged undercarriage - but use a torch, not a lighter though!!!

                    Is it a smell only when the windows are down or also when the windows are up?
