Smell of fuel: causes and the faults that trigger it

A smell of petrol or diesel can hide a fuel leak in the hoses, the tank, the injectors or the filter, although sometimes it is due to a badly closed cap, the charcoal canister or a cold start. RACE warns that fuel leaks are a fault that needs resolving promptly, because petrol vapours can ignite from a cigarette, a match or a hot exhaust pipe. If the smell is strong or you see stains under the car, stop the vehicle in a safe place.^[1][2][3][4]

16 documented faults cause it in 16 engines. The most important:

Critical severity: Low-pressure fuel pump failure: loss of power and fire risk · 2.0 and 2.5 Hybrid
Critical severity: LPG (ECO-G) system faults and tank recall · 1.0 TCe / SCe
Medium severity: Injectors that lose their seal and let diesel escape · 1.4 HDi

What to do now

As soon as possible

Do not smoke or start the engine if the smell is strong. Check for dripping under the car and have it taken to a garage on a recovery truck if the leak is visible.

What it means

Smelling petrol or diesel in the cabin or around the car may indicate a leak in the fuel circuit, the injectors or their return lines. As well as the fire risk, it can leave you stranded.

General explanation from MotorFiable. How it shows up in each engine, with sources, is in the list of faults.

Reviewed on 30 October 202642 sources How we work

Most common causes

From most to least likely according to the sources. Under each cause, the part and the related OBD codes.

1. Damaged fuel lines and hoses
Common cause
RACE cites first the hoses that carry fuel from the tank to the engine: they usually run underneath the car and are exposed to stones, dirt and metal fragments from the tarmac that can damage their covering. For tank leaks it also points to seals or hoses deteriorated by the passage of time.^[1][5][6]
Faults with with fuel leaks
2. Leaking tank, seals or fuel gauge sender
Common cause
RACE lists as causes of a tank leak a hard knock, corrosion from road salt, damaged seals or hoses and the seal of the fuel gauge sender, the level meter. If the leak is petrol, the smell is more noticeable inside the car, especially under the rear seats, where the tank is; if the tank is diesel and the sender seal fails, RACE speaks of a strong smell of diesel inside the cabin.^[1][5][6]
Faults with with fuel leaks
3. Leaking injectors or fuel rail
Common cause
According to RACE, injectors can lose fuel at the tip, and the leak leaves a small puddle on the fuel rail, at the top of the engine. The loss can also be located at the rail connections. Motor16 includes it among the warning signs of the rail along with hard starting, loss of power and higher consumption.^[1][2][3]
Faults with with the injectors Faults with with fuel leaks
4. Damaged fuel filter seal
Possible cause
RACE says that the petrol filter seal can be damaged or cracked and let some fuel through, which makes the car smell of petrol.^[1]
Faults with with fuel leaks
5. Fuel cap not closed properly or tank overfilled
Possible cause
RACE notes that a petrol cap that is badly closed, or that has been forgotten, can make the car smell of petrol, and that if you overfill when refuelling the fuel overflows and drops run down the bodywork.^[1]
6. Faulty charcoal canister or EVAP system
Possible cause
The canister stores fuel vapours to return them to combustion; if it does not retain them properly, RACE says it can smell of petrol inside the car, and if the canister valve floods a leak can occur. km77 adds that overfilling the tank can saturate the activated charcoal and that a purge valve stuck open lets vapours through uncontrolled. RACE says a canister fault turns on the engine warning light.^[1][4][5][7]
7. Smell without a leak: cold start or oil diluted by petrol
Possible cause
km77 explains that it is possible to notice the smell without any loss of fluid. On a cold start the engine management orders a richer fuel injection to compensate for the lack of heat, and on short trips small amounts of petrol can pass the piston rings and mix with the oil. Even so, the smell needs checking.^[4]

Depending on what you notice

Petrol smell inside the car

RACE explains that a petrol tank leak is perceived more inside the car, especially under the rear seats, where the tank is. It can also smell inside if the canister does not store the vapours properly or, in cars over 15 years old, if the access to the fuel gauge sender under the rear seats is in poor condition.^[1][5]

My car smells of petrol

RACE warns that it can hide a serious and dangerous problem. Check for stains under the car or a puddle on the fuel rail, that the cap is properly closed and that you have not overfilled when refuelling. If the smell is strong or there is a leak, stop the vehicle in a safe place.^[1][2]

Diesel smell inside the car

RACE cites the fuel tank sender seal as a typical cause: if it is damaged, as well as losing fuel a strong smell of diesel appears inside the cabin. Diesel tank leaks, according to RACE, are not normal and must be resolved soon.^[6]

My car smells of petrol outside

It can be a tank overfilled when refuelling, with drops on the bodywork, a badly closed cap, or a leak in hoses, injectors or the filter, which would leave stains or a puddle. On a cold start, km77 reminds us that more fuel is injected and it can smell without there being a leak.^[1][4]

My car smells of diesel outside

For diesel tanks RACE cites knocks, deteriorated hoses or seals and salt corrosion, and for the fuel rail, leaks at its connections. Motor16 advises stopping in a safe place if you smell fuel or see stains under the vehicle, and RACE warns that on common-rail systems there can be very high pressure even with the engine off and that handling them requires qualified personnel.^[2][3][6]

The car smells of petrol but I can't see a leak

According to km77, it is perfectly possible to notice the smell without any loss of fluid: it is explained by a cold start, a canister saturated by overfilling the tank or a faulty purge valve. That it is not a serious fault does not mean it can be ignored: km77 considers it a warning sign that needs checking.^[4]

What to check first

First of all, park in a safe place, do not smoke and keep any source of ignition away: RACE reminds us that a cigarette, a match or a hot exhaust pipe can ignite petrol vapours.^[1][8]
Look under the car, especially under the rear seats and along the hoses, for stains or dripping. RACE says a tank or injector leak leaves a visible trace.^[1][3][5]
Check that the fuel cap is properly closed and that you have not overfilled when refuelling.^[1]
Look at the fuel rail, at the top of the engine, for a puddle of fuel. On common-rail systems the pressure can remain with the engine off, so do not touch the system: RACE reserves it for qualified personnel.^[1][2][3]
If the smell only appears on cold starts or short trips and you see nothing, still ask for a check: km77 considers it a warning sign, and a canister fault turns on the engine warning light and is confirmed with an OBD diagnosis.^[4][7]

Can I keep driving?

Urgency: As soon as possible

If the smell is strong or you see a leak or stains under the car, do not carry on driving: RACE and Motor16 ask you to stop the vehicle in a safe place, and RACE warns that the vapours can ignite from a cigarette, a match or a hot exhaust pipe. A leak left unrepaired can leave you without fuel, damage the petrol pump and the injectors or cause a fire. If the smell is slight and occasional, for example on a cold start, km77 says it is not always a serious fault, but it does need checking.^{[1][2][3][4][5]}

Fault codes that may go with it

If you have an OBD reader, the code stored by the control unit helps you work out which system is failing.

Frequently asked questions

Is it dangerous to drive if it smells of petrol?

It can be. RACE warns that petrol vapours can ignite from a cigarette, a match or even a hot exhaust pipe, and includes it among the fire warning signs along with light smoke and temperature warning lights. If the smell is strong or there is a leak, RACE and Motor16 ask you to stop in a safe place.^[1][2][3][8]

What are the risks of ignoring a fuel leak?

According to RACE, you can run out of fuel on the road, damage the petrol pump through lack of fuel, ruin the injectors with residues and, if a spark occurs, cause a fire. In the case of diesel, RACE adds that running out of fuel can cost a fine of up to 200 euros in Spain.^[5][6]

How much does it cost to fix a fuel leak?

It depends on where it is. RACE speaks of about 50 euros if the problem is in the tank seals or hoses and between 150 and 300 euros for a new tank, depending on the model (prices in Spain). Motor16 puts the fuel filter, with labour, at between 80 and 150 euros, and says a fault with the injectors or the high-pressure pump can exceed 1,000 euros.^[3][5]

Can it smell of petrol without a leak?

Yes. km77 explains that on a cold start more fuel is injected to compensate for the lack of heat, that overfilling the tank can saturate the canister and that a purge valve stuck open lets vapours through. Even so, it considers it a sign that needs checking.^[4]

Does the engine warning light come on if the canister fails?

RACE says it does: the engine fault warning light will appear in the initial check on starting, and an OBD diagnostic machine is needed to confirm the problem. It does not mention a petrol smell as a canister symptom, although another RACE article does.^[1][7]
