My wife's sedona had a strong gasoline smell inside the car when started. She also said it seemed to lose power going up hill. I did not see any leaks on the ground after it sat for a while. Any idea where this gas smell is coming from? Seemed stronger inside the car, but it was hard to tell outside in the wind. Thanks in advance.

Usually it evaporates before hitting the ground. If you smell it more in the vehicle, check under the hood for leaks on the fuel rail, injectors, supply line. Also, follow the fuel line to the engine compartment to see if there is any evidence of a leak.

Let me know what you find.
