Message	I had heard somewhere that if the gas cap is bad and/or is releasing a little bit of fumes past it that it can get into the cabin. Something about there being a rubber boot or something around that area on the inside panels of the car and if it's cracked fumes can get into the cabin. I replaced my cap and my smell went away. I didn't question it, heh. My 300Zs: www.zheaven.com - Have a question about either of my 300ZXs? Answers lie within.
