Gas smell by driver's side rear wheel well.

Hi,

You might do better posting a new thread under AWD and using a specific tab for your car.
Even if they push the all tab under RWD I get all of those so if they do the same under AWD yours will pop up.
You can copy all your posts over and title things more specifically as you go to get better attention.

I wish I had a clue to where but I have never looked under the hoods of these cars very much because all I can see are plastic covers without much air space in between anything.
So with that, I understand your dilemma.

You will have to think that it’s in a small out of the way place as it couldn't be used for anything else.
On the 240s they didn’t get so cramped but it’s still under the front bumper and accessible.
It looks like a small coffee can size plastic canisters but today it can be a specially formed black plastic box. I suggest following hoses for a directional trail. They split and rot.
Please do not count on that working all that well, as another AWD poster, routinely talks or jokes about using some 12” Hemostats for retrievals 😬 or exploring 👀.

IMHO
This Comes from our populations being raised up in urban surroundings and those kinds of living spaces.
Having lots of things but it all looks neatly put away.
Eye appeal is sales appeal, as once told to me by a baker that’s one of the oldest professions next to prostitution.

The newest cars are conceptually enthralled with selling you something not really good for you, like pastries, but we smile anyways! 😋

Until maintenance or repairs are needed.
