Hello,


Seems like once I get one problem solved another pops up 😀. I appreciate your alls help and advice.

1998 V90 Automatic w/ 161k miles

I've been noticing a pretty strong fuel smell in my driver's side rear wheel well. It is right under the fuel filler. I also have a cel light (p0442) but I'm not sure it's related.

Is there anything in that area that could cause a leak other than the fuel filler neck ( evap canister? )? I've looked under the car as far as I could crawl, but didn't notice anything. Maybe I need to access from in the car?

One other tidbit of info. I only smell it after driving a bit. I live at the top of a really steep 1/2 mile drive. So it may have to do with the steep hill but I haven't determined that for sure yet.
