Well I got a used 97 Blazer (first car) with 113000 miles on it. It runs fine except it smells like gas outside of it at times. Also, I flipped the thing on its side (drivers side) and its been pretty sluggish. No major damge aside from a broken mirror and dents in the front side by the wheel. IU also heard that when you flip your vehicle you need to drain all the fluid and put it back in. Is this true? And what should I do about the gas smell?

Hi there,

I would be checking for a cracked or otherwise damaged fuel line, this may be the cause of your fuel smell, as for the other question, just check that all the oil levels are correct there's no need to replace the fluids for this, you will need to be replacing the fluids if you drown the car in water.
