Strong smell of gas after turning off

SOURCE: Front End has a burning smell.

Any type of burning smell can be a cause for concern. This could be a number of thing. Did they do an oil change when they had the car? It could be a leaking filter. I would not be shy about returning to the place where it was repaired and have it double checked. Don't forget you paid for this work and deserve to have it fixed properly. I hope this helps

SOURCE: gaz smell too much

DROP THE FUEL TANK, AND CHECK THE RUBBER LINES, AND FUEL PUMP SEAL. These items tend to rot with age.

SOURCE: Idling rough and a strong gas smell

Something is telling the engine it is running lean. Try checking the O2 sensors maybe.

SOURCE: I can smell gas outside car. No gas drips on

You could have a crack in the filler hose or a hole in the upper part of the gas tank.

SOURCE: I smell strong gas fumes

If it is a gas leak and not an exhaust leak, let it sit in park and look under the car for the leak (above and on the floor). At times it is the lines of the sending unit found above the gas tank. Do not drive it! The leak can catch on fire ( the leak can spread over hot parts of the car while driving). If you find the leak, have it towed to your mechanic for repair.
