Gas smell inside and outside my 328?

ecitizen · 10-24-2016, 08:51 PM

I can smell gas outside the car and sometimes inside in my 2013 328i xdrive. Took it to the dealer and they said that they checked fuel injectors, gaskets, etc. and no leaks. They then said there is some cosmoline burning off the bottom of the car which is normal and may cause a gas smell. I find this very hard to believe that it's normal to be smelling gas like that outside and inside the car. Also, when I had it safety inspected the guy said the gas tank was leaking but dealership says that it's just the cosmoline stuff melting off on the tank and it's normal. This all smells odd to me, no pun intended! Thoughts appreciated.
