Interior problem
1998 Toyota Landcruiser V8 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 135000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
The interior of our 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser smells like raw gasoline. You can also smell it outside at the back end of the truck as well as the driver's side. We have had three seperate car mechanics look for the cause. They can smell the gasoline but can not find a leak anywhere. Any ideas?

hi there,

If your car is fitted with the sub fuel tank, check the switching valve and connections for the fuel tank breather, these were a problem when the car was new.
