Lexus Repair: Gas smell, catalytic convertor, gas fumes


Question
Hello.
I have a 1994 LS400 with 95K miles. The garage is full of gas fumes after startup. I had the 90K service done in May at 92300 miles.I keep the car in good condition, but this smell has me worried. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,   Dan..

Answer
Check for leaks in the fuel system entering the engine. Assuming there are no leaks. You've most likely got too much gas upon start-up. Possibly an injector leaking fuel while the car sits. Things like that. Make sure the catalytic convertor is in good shape also.
