Some time when I start the car I smell gas, my mechanic says the seal which is around the gas tank may be leaking,
What kind of seal is it (rubber gasket or cork Gasket)?
Can it be repaired?

Thanks for your Help

Typically when you first start the car you will smell a bit more raw fuel because your vehicle is in open loop mode. Its not monitoring anything really in the computer and just running off set values. I wont rule out a fuel leak, but if you dont smell it when you turn your key to turn on auxiliaries (not start the car), and the pump is primed. Then I wouldnt be to worried, Still have someone check it out if you believe there is an issue.
