01/27/05 2.00 We have a 2002 Sportage and have experienced a similar problem with the gas smell. It generally happens during the extreme cold weather when a small hose seems to leak a very small amount of gas (Drips) when you start the engine. I have had the same problem with two engines in the same car, and the fix is fairly simple, change the hose clamp and or change the hose for a better quality hose.
