so i havent driven my car in a while (no liscense) ill drive it around the parking lot every few days but thats about it. anyway, yesterday i finally put the extension on my exhuast, and change out my brakes. i drive to gas staiton (like 1/4 mile down the road) put 10$ in and come home. i leave for work this morning at 830. i come home and there is a huge puddle of gas under my car, its still leaking. i cant win.,..


will someone please come put a match to this puddle?

 

What all have you replaced with the fuel system?

 

i put a fuel pump in like... 3 years ago haha

it was in the dealership a few months back for fuel problems, which turned out that my O ring wasn't seated correctly. they fixed that and it ran as good as it could at the time.



seriously, i havent fucked with anything fuel related for years. i didnt hit anything either. im baffled. jason and brandon are gonna be over a little later, hopefully we can figure it out and update.

 

Find where the leak is coming from. Probably have some kind of loose fuel injector rail bolt or something along there.

 

Follow the fuel system from tank to filter to rail to fpr to return back to the tank. My first guess is a rotten return line off the FPR.

 

Mine leaks from the filler tube that goes into the tank, only when I fill it more than half a tank. I havent had to worry about it since I havent filled the car up but once since ive gotten it.

Gluck tracking it down...

 

jason(boostb4broads) and brandon stopped by we jacked it up, took off the shield that covers the gas tank and we couldnt find a leak, becuase it stopped leaking........ so i take off the rear seat and check out my fuel pump, and there is gas on it. i wipe it down, tighten hoses etc and still no leak.

we go to gas staiton and i put a couple gallons in it, and still no leak. drive it the mile back home, and still no leak. after hanging out inside for about 10 minutes it starts leaking again, somewhere from up around the tank. cant tell. meh

edit: i dont think it has anything to do with my engine bay or that area. its gotta be something between the pump and tank. jjust got out of the shower, so i dont feel like dealing with it now. ill check it out tommorow

 

now the thing leaks sometimes... havent turned the car on at all. but it leaks sometimes, and others it dosent... wtf possessed or somethign

 

You should wait there for the leak.

 

a watched pot never boils haha j/k thats about the only way to locate the leak.
