My '92 240 gives off really bad gasoline/exhaust fumes from the engine compartment. I have to drive around with my windows up all the time, cause it pretty much knocks me out. My whole interior smells like gasoline/exhaust fumes now and I can't take it. First I thought I had a exhaust leak but that wasn't it. Could any one help me out?.

leaky fuel injectors ! is most likely your problem thats what mine did when one was leaking on to the intake manifold check them for moister around the connections opposite the fuel rail on the Head . this should be taken care of soon as possible. i left mine for weeks cause i was broke but i could have burnt my car up doing it... also maybe drive with the hood popped but still latched as to disapte some of the fuel vapors faster may save you in long run if you cant get it fixed soon

That happened to my old car...and I never got it fixed...I didn't know it was injectors, thats bad...

The last Gumball rally some guy had an old Ferrari Daytona and the monoxide made his co-driver pass out...I thought it was humurous.

True that, the fumes make me super dizzy and fatigues me out. The interior is soaked of it now so my clothes smell like gasoline all the time...full on bummer....
