Default Gas Smell in 2006 Nissan Altima

My wife also had a gas smell in her 2006 Nissan Altima with 95,000 miles. After 2 trips to a local shop, they were still unable to determine the cause. We went to another shop, & he was able to detect that the problem was coming from a loose spark plug. This was allowing both a raw gas smell,or a partial exhaust smell to come into the car when the fresh air option was used with the A/C on. If it was in Recirculate, you couldn't smell it. Funny thing is that the car idled/ ran smoothly, with no hesitation, or missing on acceleration. A very simple fix. Hope that this helps.
