My 2009 xf has just 34000 miles. Last week I start the engine and I could smell gas in the car for about 5 minutes. I waited until the smell was over to drive. From that day, every other day I was sme

    I have a 2009 XF and I also had the same problem. I noticed that I was actually losing fuel at a rapid rate. Took it to the dealer and they said My gas line was unhooked. (Strange) Now a few weeks later I am beginning to have the same problem. I am taking it back tomorrow morning.

Check under the hood fuel lines look for leaks at the fuel lines.and check under car near fuel tank see if you see any signs of fuel leaks.because smelling gasoline could be flameable and dangerous problem causing fire.

Was this the smell of burnt fuel or raw gasoline? If this started after it began getting cold outside this can indicate a problem with the EVAP system in the car. This may or may not cause a check engine light.

This site reported a 2010 model of your car having this same symptom.
They found the injector seals to be leaking.

supercharged 510hp 5.0L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
Mar 2010 4340 0 injector seal leak causing "gas" smell in cabin - replaced injector and new seal kits on other injectors

That can be a very serious issue with the potential to cause a fire. I would have it checked by a professional mechanic and specify your concern on the injector seals being checked.

Check your battery with a volt meter. When it gets cold, the plates inside the battery restrict the amperage needed on your car. Get a fresh battery to avoid the hassle. When the current doesn't flow thru the battery due to cold weather, not even a jump will help because its still almost an open circuit. Keep the new battery warm and install it in your jag. start it immediately to get it warmed up. Check your antifreeze level also. If you need it, only put DexCool in concentrated form during your climate chill. It will mix with the diluted antifreeze in the system anyways. Good luck.

Smelled rubbery smell, saw smoke, after that saw fluid under car. Then the car would engage but only go 5 miles an hour for a few minutes at a time

sounds like you burned up a seal check to see if you have oil in the engine and also check the trans oil level

This is an idea not a for sure. Bad or worn valves can cause what you describe. Had something similar happen to an 2004 Toyota. Due to bad lubrication, crazy huh?
