Default gas smell, when cornering??

in my buddies car, if you take a corner somewhat but not really hard (30 kmph), it smells like gas really bad, and it coming from just above his tank, could it be a hole, or his fuel pump? what could be causing this???

This may not help at all but, my (don't laugh) Ford Tempo does the same thing. I can't figure it out at all.

*sarcasm ahead*
you should re-grease your Axle joints and take ur transmission in for maintainence. then you should check ur winshield wiper fluid.

take the car apart and check for leaks u dumbass. If you smell it, its oviously coming out so check where its comin from and then fix it

What smells like gas is often exhaust fumes before they hit the catalytic converter. Check those gaskets there are as well.

Check your Fueltank seal... It may be warped..
