After I start my car I can smell gas from the engine bay. Although when I look underneath the car I dont see any leaks. How would I find where the leak isort what is causing the smell? I think im going to get the car tuned up(change all fluids, fuel filter, ect.) If I were to get the get tuned up about how much would it cost me? I just bought the car a couple weeks ago and im not driving it so it doesnt have to be fixed right away.

Injectors leaking. All 240SX's injectors will start leaking eventually.

Checl your fuel lines under the car and look carefully at the base of the injectors and that is most likely where the problem is.

Mine leak enough that I keep a halon fire extinguisher in my back seat just in case. I need to do the o-ring changeouts really soon./
