Leaking Gas Lines and Hoses
Gas lines and hoses take gas from the fuel tank to the engine where it is used to move the car. If the hoses become worn out, punctured, or cut, they begin to leak, which is dangerous. Additionally, hoses that are not fitted properly can cause gas to leak from the bottom of a car.

Here are places that fuel will commonly leak from:
1. Fuel LinesIf one of the fuel lines has been damaged, you should be able to find the leak by doing an inspection. Is there gas on the garage floor? That is a tell-tale sign of a fuel leak. If you do find gas, you should consider your Oldsmobile Bravada undrivable until you have it repaired. It could catch fire.
2. Gas TankA typical place where gas leaks form is the fuel filler neck. Specifically, where the neck meets the tank. There is a seal there that can go bad over time. Replacing it will solve the gas smell.
3. InjectorsIf a fuel injector is leaking, it will allow too much fuel to dump into the engine. Eventually it can fill the entire intake up and leak everywhere.
ConclusionThere are a lot of things that can cause you Bravada to smell like gas. Even though it's very likely that it's a benign reason, always give the smell of gas the respect it deserves until you find the leak.
