gas smell

[Nova John]

I have a 2011 Hemi Ram. Today was 82 degrees out and when I got home I had a faint gas smell coming from under the hood. Fuel rails look good, not a strong gas smell just a faint smell. Can't find any leaks anywhere. Gas cap is tight. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Intake bolt are tight. Have 105,000 miles on truck and also have a catch can. Smells like the older cars that have evaperator canister. Thanks for any help.

Injector o rings maybe?

Check your Fuel injector O Rings one could be leaking, and how's the evaporative system in the gas fill neck but you should get a CEL.

No cel and it runs great

[Nova John]

when were plugs last done? Take sample send to get uoa, look into combustion chamber.

Plugs are fairly new. Just did oil change and have oil sample ready to go to get tested. Have to go over everything carefully. Very faint smell so might be hard to find, but want to fix before it gets worse or causes a problem. Thanks for al the help.

This ended up being my problem with the exact problem you described

5.7L HEMI Purge Control Valve & Harness Hose / Mopar OEM 4627996AA / Fits 13-17 Dodge Ram 1500 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075FDD573/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_nrLDEbQA7DTWF

Looked on Amazon and they don't list purge control valve for 2011. Says doesn't fit my vehicle. How did you know that valve was bad?

Anyone know where purge control valve is located on 2011 hemi Ram, 2013 and up are on intake but not sure where 2011 is.

I emailed my tuner Jay Greene describing my problem similar to yours about smelling gas. Tried it out and worked out perfectly. I A quick Google search for 2011 5.7 led me to Rockauto.com



I still need to replace the leak detection pump on the fuel tank.

Hopefully this is the location on 2011



I just did a screenshot of someone's youtube vid trying to find that location of your purge solenoid
Looks like driver side under the relay box is its location
