Driving the car sunday morning, smelling fuel, thought it was the Harley riding in front paid no mind till i had to get gas and the engine bay has fuel sprayed all over it. got to house and fuel is dripping/running onto the floor. engine shuts off flow stops, so at least the fuel pump is working just fine. Clearly there is a leak somewhere where to start looking?

if its fuel injected...
you said the bay was sprayed, so that means the leak is up top. If it does end up being a faulty fuel hose you will want to replace all the hose top to bottom. start at the passenger fuel rail and see that the clamps are tight, also check if they are the right (non intrusive clamps) and then follow to both injectors, some have crimps and some have clamps. look for cracking at the end of any hoses. then follow across to the regulator and then the driver side rail and injectors. last place would be the cold start injector clamps. the injectors themselves have been known to leak right out of the plastic parts too. i think that about covers it. good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |
