Start my car after a year and you feel a strong smell of gasoline inside,I check the engine, trunk and below the car and there are no visible leaks
Thanks for considering my request!

Hi Jairo,

Open your trunk and sniff around the top of the carpeted panel at the bulkhead to see if the gasoline smell is stronger there. If so, I would suspect a leak at the "evaporative flange," the plastic cap on the top of the fuel tank. There is a foam sound insulation pad on top of the tank and if the evaporative flange is leaking, the pad becomes saturated with fuel.

Cheers,

Don
