...to be getting a fairly strong fuel smell in the frunk? I can smell it pretty good in the garage. Having the car inspected Friday but just wondering if this is typical. Thanks!

If your car is fuel injected, and you're comfortable starting it, I would pop the engine lid and grab a flashlight. You might have something as simple as a leaking injector, or more likely, a connection at the injector or fuel rail where the wrong type of clamp was used and worn/cut through the fuel line. Either way, if this is the case, you will be able to see the fuel pooling up on the tin beneath said injector or fuel rail. Just another place to look.
EDIT: Sorry...didn't read the "frunk" part.... |
