Hi -

Now that its getting very hot in AZ, I've noticed that I smell gas when I start my car especially in the afternoon. I do have covered parking at work, but its still hot.

I do leave the AC on, and the smell seems to blow in through those vents. Doesn't last long at all and car is running really well.

Ideas?

TIA

I have the burnt electronic smell Abbid described in the afternoon when it sits in the sun at work.
The gas smell only in the morning when I start it up.

when i turn off the car, i turn off the a/c first as i am arriving to park. when i start the car, i do not smell 'burnt electronics', but i do smell the 'old a/c air' smell. will have to keep a lookoout, err..smellout for that burnt electronics smell....

I've noticed all types of unpleasant smells in all of my cars especially in AZ and there not coming from me or the Mexican food I commonly eat 

It's my understanding that your supposed to start the car, give it a chance to get going, and then turn on the AC..

I guess condensation builds up and creates that nasty smell..

since it's only on the afternoon, maybe its our cars melting!!!!
