Default Smells like gas inside the truck…nothing leaking though

Hi!

With the nicer weather here I am driving with the window down and there appears to be a gas smell wafting throughout but once the windows close the smell goes away. Feels like the odour is getting vacuumed from somewhere within or around the truck and right past my nose. Has anyone had this happen? Any ideas why? Thank you

Gas evaporates quickly. You shouldn't smell it. If you don't see any leaking around the tank my next guess would be injector o rings. Hard to see leaks under that blasted intake. Your cabin intake air filter is right at the engine

this is good information and really a logical explanation! Thank you
