I believe it is my problem, the yellow end cap is steady dripping(cracked). I was wondering what that cap is called or how I would go about fixing and what I need to replace. Just cranks over, wont start and it gets flooded (tons of gas in oil).


If anyone has any ideas let me know I need to get her running ASAP

It's called the fuel pulsation dampener. Stop driving your car immediately if you havent already. Lots of people have lost their cars due to engine fires. Do a search and you'll come up with tons of info.

 

The fuel rail pulse damper needs to be replaced every 10 years or so.
Many of us carry fire extinguishers, just in case we get a suprise leak.

The fuel in the oil is a seperate issue - usually clogged/leaky injectors.
Most metro areas have shops the specialize in injector cleaning & do both diesel & gas.

 

thanks for all the feedback! that was the problem.

Thanks again
