Gas Like odor in the Passenger Compartment 1996 Avalon

[Nav102]

Have an intermittent gasoline odor smell entering the passenger compartment of my 1996 Toyota Avalon. It is noticeable in the engine compartment and seems to enter the interior through the vents. Have had the car checked and no gas leaks have been found and the charcoal canister , vacuum valve have been replaced recently. Check Engine Light is turned off . Still have the problem. Any suggestions?

Check your gas cap. It may sound simple but if the gasket is broken the fumes will get out. If the fuel lines, fuel filter, etc. have been checked and there is no fuel leak, you may have a leaky injector. Open your air filter box and check for fuel odor. If it reeks of fuel when you open it, chances are good you have a problem with an injector or injector seals. Has the car been running normally? Do you notice the smell on start-up after the car has been sitting for a while?

I have checked the gascap smell but get this smell after traveling around 2 miles and donot get any smell or odor at startup.

Can you open the airbox and check for fuel smell?
