Fuel smell inside the car is a fire hazard. The cause must be located fast — usually a leaking fuel line, EVAP system, or filler-neck issue.
In our network we see these in roughly this order. Diagnostic comes first — never authorise a repair without a written diagnostic report.
Drips onto hot manifold or surfaces. Replacement: ₹4,500-12,500.
Vapour escaping. Smell + check-engine light typical. ₹2,500-9,500 fix.
Common on cars 10+ years old. Replacement (₹3,500-7,500) before bigger leak.
In-tank pump assembly. Strong smell after refuel. Fuel pump replacement.
YES. Stop driving until cause is identified. Open windows, no smoking, get diagnosed urgently.
EVAP system / loose fuel cap. Tighten cap, drive 50 km — should clear. If persists, EVAP repair.
Same-day. Fuel vapour ignition is a real risk. Tow if necessary.
