What is causing my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado to have a gas smell inside car when starting and idling?

Check the fuel line that comes off the body hard line (from the gas tank) and goes into a flex tube to the throttle body (all of this is in the engine compartment). There is a plastic cover that goes over the soft line to protect it from chaffing. Only problem...it is chaffing the line and causing a leak inside your engine compartment and that's why you only smell it when you are standing still at idle. If you peel back the covering you will detect a pin hole leak and the smell will intensify. It happened to me...However, Jeep wants about 100 bucks for the new line. Go to Autozone and buy a fuel line and 2 clamps...easy fix. Been driving it for a year and never had a problem. I can't remember what diameter the hose is but if you cut the old one you can match it in the store.

Why is fan running all the time on 2003 Jeep Cherokee Laredo?
Maybe because there's no such car? The last year for the Cherokee was 2001. I had the same problem on my 2003 jeep grand cherokee. One reason it will stay on is after you wash it or a good amount of water gets in the engine. If it is below freezing the water freezes in the radiator causing the fan to continuously run

Check to see if your electric radiator fan is working. With the engine running, turn on your a/c, the electric fan should start up. If it does not, when the engine gets hot during idle, the fan must start up or the engine overheats. You will need to replace the fan.
