After driving my 2005 Ford Expy Eddie Bauer with the 5.4 Triton I can smell a strong gas odor from under the rear driver's side wheel well. Yes its near the gas filling area. I have checked under the hood, the exhaust, and the gas cap. The smell is definitely coming from UNDER the wheel well. There are no visible leaks or gas puddles under the truck. The odor dissipates after several hours.
I was wondering if there may be an emissions canister that needs replaced? Also a friend told me take it sounds like a 'no pressurized' system leak. He said there were several tubes/hoses that are used for various functions such as a return fuel line and a breather tube for refueling.
The truck has 253,000 miles on the body and around 86,000 on the engine. There are no OBDII codes either.
Thanks!
