im smelling gas through the air vents...

The car is a 1998 grand prix GTP with 3800 supercharged engine
it has 155k, but was from arizona so it's super clean and was very well maintained. It recently had a supercharger put in I was told when we bought it.

i have just recently started smelling gas comming through my vents . it is very random, comes and goes.. today i smelled it and in the middle of it i turned off my ac and the smell went away, i turned my ac back on and the smell came back.. but then left like 1 minute later..

i have been asking around and nobody really understands why this would happen..

can anybody give me some advice on what to look at?

I would think that the new supercharger and a fuel smell would indicate something has come loose or something wasn`t tightened up. Get your mechanic to have a look. If it`s leaking fuel on the engine you could have a fire. Better be safe than fried.

If you are sure that its gasoline, dont even start the car untill you get it fixed or professionally diagnosed not to be gasoline

Wow! Your info is a great help. Stick to listing parts and don`t answer any questions,
