Well this is a tough one with limited info....is it a raw gas smell or fumes or burnt fuel exhaust...and is it inside or outside the car the strongest

Look for a physical fuel leak first....have someone start the car and you look under the hood...its probably raw gas fumes, but do this first...if you have no liquid leaks then the evap....fume system....is next....has the fuel filter been changed in the last 6 months

Hi guys
It's fuel smell comes from exhaust fuel not burned
You have any idea?

Do you have a scan tool to read fuel trims....if yes post them ....if not get one...they are easy to use..or go to a shop and have them do a diagnostic scan....either way, we need to know this data...do you have any check engine lights on, and does the car run good besides the smell...if it is overfueling, damage to the cat converters will happen and needs to be addressed immediately...where are you located by the way
