Hi all,
whenever i start my car in the cold weather.I smell strong gas fume inside my car cabin but when the car is warmed up there is no smell. i asked my mechanic and he said that it happens in cold weather so nothing to worry about. i just want your opinion that is it true. I Googled this issue but couldn't find a proper solution.Thanks in advance for your help.

Probably because your mechanic gave you the right answer and no one could add to it...Anyways if it makes you feel better to hear it from someone else.....It's normal, as your engine runs rich when starting it cold so it is inevitable raw gas fumes will enter into the cabin. :)
