Well I'd like to thank him for bumping this stone-age thread. This shed some light on a problem I am experiencing.

well i had the smell in the car and it was from the seal of the gas tank. I had to go into the trunk and i tightened the screws since all of them were loose and sprayed the trunk with air freshener and no more gas smell
