Re: smells fuel

i'm a little lost here. but i'm going to say just start sniffing. but maybe your fuel fliter. check all your lines. if it's coming from you bay, check the seals on your fuel injectors, are you running very rich?

Re: smells fuel

Re: smells fuel

no ,its not a joke
. but i smell it from behind the car. long time ago they changed my fuel pump,maybe they did not close it well,but at the same time i believe that it is ok closed because whenever i refill my tank a pressure comes from the tank when i open the cap,,so i guess it is in the lines.. thanx guys

Re: smells fuel

im havin this same problem man...i dunno what's causing it, but i smell fuel sometimes too. most of the time while im driving i dont smell it, windows down or not. the car doesnt run rich either. runs very good actually, just an odd fuel smell. i've smelled it for about 2 weeks every time i park the car and cut it off, it smells just like gas. It's startin to scare me...cuz i dunno where its comin from or if it's leakin somewhere, but i just got the oil changed and they looked but saw nowhere it was leakin from...maybe it's just a gas smell from the gas tank bein so close to the passenger compartment?? i dunno...oh yea, just thought of this, could it be a leaky injector drippin fuel??
