    *Sniff sniff*. Is that gasoline I smell?

    I have a strong smell coming from my gas cap. I have replaced the gas cap. and the evap canisters (they were leaking and making the smell worse) and I still have the smell. I had the pressure tested and its good. Im thinking its the filler neck? It is mighty rusty. Think replacing it will work?
