QUOTE(rmital @ Sep 16 2021, 09:07 AM)  QUOTE(r_towle @ Sep 15 2021, 08:10 PM) If not that, there is a charcoal venting system, which after 40 years has served its full life span. You can replace the charcoal, google that. the charcoal venting system has been removed from car....but, was included in the purchase.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Put it back on the car. It will definitely make a difference in the fuel smell. I even have it working on the 4.0L 964 motor with the 964 purge valve. No gas smell in my car. Someone removed it from the blue six. I have the parts to add it back. Clay |

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.... |
