2002 Impala gas smell coming through heater?
Hi there everyone, my future father in law was asking me to get on here and see if we all can figure out what's wrong with their car.
It's a 2002 Impala, V6, 3.4L, Auto. In the morning when they start up their car, they turn on the heat and let it heat up (were in Central Kentucky, it's cold....). When they get in the car, it smells badly of the odor of gas. It stays in the vehicle I guess for a while until it's aired out.
Does anyone have any ideas or a where to start? I appreciate all the help.
Thanks,
Taylor

Welcome to the forum. Any fumes into the cabin have to come from the outside, through the cowl, unless there's a gas can sitting inside or something. Get to it in the morning, get in, smell the inside. Start it up, get out, walk around, see if you can locate the source of the fume. If parked inside the garage, be sure to open the garage door and leave it open.
