hi as sum of u may already know i am experiencing heavy gassy fuely smells from my s3

so bad that it gets stuck on my clothes and i get drowsy because of the dang smell.. its geting really bad

pls help me connect them to the right place..

the smell is not getting consumed by the engine as it should because one or more hoses are just venting to the atmoshpere..

here are the pics (56k friendly)













thanx guys

there should be two lines going to that black cannister that part of the evaporative system.Who hacked your hoses?

timmya2

friend of mine..

where is the other line connected then?

cheers

QuagmireMan

is that right hand drive?

timmya2

yep..

and he only removed it when he put the new weber in..

if that's the charcoal canister, you should have one line coming from your gas tank and one going to the engine, then on the bottom of the charcoal canister (or maybe it's on the top one that does this, I dunno) there's a third line that drains to the bottom of the car.

So, one line should come from the gas tank
One should go the engine somehow I think (dunno how)
One should drain

Is that a 48 IDA on a stock port 12A w/ factory exhaust?

The hand in picture # 4 from the top is pointing to the carbon cannister ( to the right of the oil filter) that collects and supresses the gas fumes in the under the hood area. It should never need replacing due to the few # of vaccuum lines and hoses that send fumes to it(as compared to a 3rd gen.) but make sure the lines are all hooked up correctly from the shop manual.

It's strange to me that you are not using the fuel return line anymore w/the Weber setup. Guys, don't you still need to use that??

Maybe with the stock exhaust you have some really bad exhaust leaks and you are smelling the engine running rich?

buzz

maybe just block everything in the emissions that isn't blocked?

timmya2

any pics of the gas tank? i dunno where it is..

cheers mate

timmya2

yeh i was wondering about that too..

anyone here know if the weber 48 ida is still capable of running a return fuel line?

cheers

It depends on the pressure regulator. If it is a restrictor type then you don't need a return. But if it is a bleeder type then you do.

Do you even have a fuel pressure regulator timmya? What fuel pump are you using? Webers only like around 3-3.5 psi fuel pressure.

timmya2

stock fuel pump but im getting this other one thats better than the holley fuel pump and doesnt need a fp regulator

Ahh, now our American cousins see how hard it is to turbocharge a FB when you've got a whopping great steering box in the way of the manifold
