Strong fuel smell?
#1
Thread Starter
All of a sudden I'm getting a strong smell of fuel from my car. Car is running well (though I'm obviously not going to push it!), gas cap is tight, exhaust connections appear sound. It seems to be coming from the engine bay -- the dashboard vents seem to blow the fumes strongly, and I got a good whiff when I opened the hood, but a cursory glance didn't reveal anything obvious.
What do you guys think? Fuel injectors? Manifold leak? Something else? Anybody else have this?
Thanks,
John

Have you done any fuel related mods? Check the fuel rail tightness as I think this holds the injectors in place, and we removed the fuel rail and injectors to put in the Hondata gasket.

Yeah your fuel rail might need to be tightened down or you might has a small leak in your fuel line. Look under your car and see if there is anything leaking. There is also a black line running to the bottom of your fuel pressure regulator. I would check that hose to see if there are any leaks. I had that fuel smell in my car also but that was after my supercharger was put on with a larger fuel pump.
