Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum. I have a 2001 is300 and after about 10 minutes of driving I'll get a very strong fuel smell coming from the rear passenger side. I've looked under the car and have had no luck spotting the leak or even seeing any fuel on the ground. Could it be fumes from my charcoal canister? And how do I go about getting this fixed? As I have a 3 year old daughter that rides in my vehicle. Thanks in advance!

Also, the smell is very strong on the outside of the car and very faint on the inside if that helps

Welcome to CL.

Do you regularly overfill your gas tank? It's usually best to pull the nozzle out at the first click. Overfilling the pipe can saturate the charcoal-canister with raw fuel and cause an odor.
