I have a smell of fuel when I lift the hood or in the car interior when it sits for a while.
I have checked under the splash guard where the fuel lines come out, all dry. Last summer I replaced the tank gasket under the filler neck. Could it be my gas cap or a hole in the tank near the top? Any ideas would be appreciated. |

I just pulled my tank because of the same problem with a gas smell.
The PO had replaced the fuel lines with braided lines and it appears they just decided to "pinch" the FI return line. I think mine is leaking from either the pinched FI return line or from the connectors to the tank. Or both (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) is there suppose to be a gasket in here? Attached image(s) |
