Windstar LX and gas smell with A/C on

[Ron Kneusel]

I have a 2000 Windstar LX and often, not every time, when the A/C has
been on for a while, I get a strong smell of gasoline in the car. The
last time it happened it was very hot out and the smell was very
strong, even outside the car.

If the A/C is not running there is no smell at all.

Has anyone run across this or know what might be causing this?

Thanks!

Ron

I have the same issue. The hotter outside the more gas smell. Ive replaced the gas cap and no change

Check the hose to the vapor absorption canister.
