Hello,

I have a 2005 S2000. With the weather hot in AZ, when the car is parked outside for extended period of time, after driving for 10 miles or so, and parking, I get an intense gas vapor smell, right around the left rear wheel well.
The evap canister was changed (as the car is not driven often) as was the fuel filler cap. (No codes are thrown, no CEL). I keep speculating what might be the cause: EVAP bypass solenoid valve, EVAP canister vent shut valve, EVAP two way valve, a hairline fracture is the lines...? This happens only in very hot weather. If you have had a similar issue that you managed to solve, I would much appreciate any suggestions.

Many thanks -JR

PS. Had it checked at a dealer to no avail.

Happens at all fuel levels? Just after fill?

Thanks! At all fuel levels. I do not top the tank off.

Ever fix it? I'm having the exact same trouble.

Hi, the temps have not been too high yet so I have not had the issue yet Will report when it gets much warmer. Thanks JR

Other posts recently have recommended a new fuel cap (unless you can get just the gasket).

Thanks. I have, indeed, changed the cap.
