Need to trouble shoot: 2x in two months driving 50-55 MPH. Had gone 12 to 15 miles. Suddenly VERY strong gas odor. Stopped, called AAA. After siting aprox. 1 hr. they took it to my mechanic. He drove it around town, no problem. Aprox a month no problem. Second time same kind of experience,except I pulled off road for maybe 5-10 min. let it set. Then started continued with no problem since.
The gas smells very strong which scares me because of fire etc.
I know NOTHING so using common sense theory. Is it possible in gas line etc. to much gas trying to go to what ever point it needs to go? Not burning properly. fuel injection problem?
I have not gone or called Toyota dealer as I am 80 female way below poverty income. Know charges would be beyond my means.
My current mech. could probably fix it if he had a clue what the problem is.
