Still struggling with gas odor in front trunk around expansion tank
Installed a new gasket between the fuel tank and expansion tank, and there is a metal ring on top—Just trying to verify the gasket placement is there supposed to be another gasket under the metal ring or is mine in the wrong placement. The fuel odor seems to be coming from that area so I also ordered a new gas cap seal and I have already replaced the 4-5mm hoses to the expansion tank . And already replaced gasket under fuel sensing unit all the bolts are tight Today I was going to see if it’s possible to lift the tank and check all the hose connections. All the hoses are new with new clamps. The inlet tubes are not leaking Edit: checked under tank it’s bone dry and zero smell whatsoever so now consider that unless I’ve done something wrong on the expansion tank install that the odor must be the fuel cap gasket even though it’s super tight and nothing visible wrong. Have ordered one |
