Reply With QuoteCheck for a fuel leak. You should check the engine compartment
immediately, as a fuel leak in the engine compartment can lead to a
fire. The next place to look is where the fuel pump goes into the tank.
There are hoses that can get old, crack and leak. I have had leaks in
both places.

1983 900 smell gasoline inside
Hello,
Does anyone know what could cause a smell of gasoline in the inside of the
car?
Thanks,
Elwin.

I had a crack in the plastic inlet that you put the pump nozzle into. As
the tank is normally pressurized, the crack let fuel vapors into the trunk.

Re: 1983 900 smell gasoline inside
Since (I think) no one else has mentioned this, I'll tell you what it turned
out to be on my old 1985 Saab. There is a rubber (or neoprene)seal/gasket
that seals the fuel gauge sending unit to the top of the fuel tank. It is
accessible on the 1985 model through an access plate under the rear
carpeting, just in front of the spare tire well. The part is cheap, and
relatively easy to replace. Be certain to get the right one for your model
car, as there are at least two different ones.
