Is a petrol smell from my car dangerous?
Yes — petrol is highly flammable and even a drip-rate leak near a hot exhaust or turbo represents a genuine fire risk. A fuel smell should be investigated within 48 hours, not at the next scheduled service. GarageNation's pickup service means you do not need to drive the car — call +91 8106316369 for same-day collection.
Why does my car smell of petrol inside the cabin?
Cabin fuel smell usually comes from the EVAP (evaporative emission) system — specifically a stuck-open canister purge valve drawing fuel vapour through the cabin ventilation. This is also the cause of a failed EVAP emission test. On Maruti and Hyundai cars the purge valve is a ₹2,500–₹5,000 repair. GarageNation tests the EVAP system with a smoke machine to identify the exact leak point.
