Hi all, I just noticed today that I could smell llike fuel when I turned on A/C. any idea what it is? is it A/C smell or something is leaking?

Was it the first time you've used your A/C in a while? Have you ever smelled freon before? It doesn't smell like gas....well I haven't smelled the new 134a (whatever) freon, but the old stuff doesn't.... Hmmm....I don't know on this one! The vents do pull air from your windshield wiper area....was the car hard to start that time? Maybe it was flooded? Check and make sure your airfilter is clean.
