Question Pulsation Damper

Hi All,

When I start my engine, I can smell a bit of fuel odor from the engine compartment, I've heard from people that the problem could be the pulsation damper.
How can I check whether or not the pulsation damper is working? would anyone have a step by step instruction on how to perform such checking?

stop and find the leak, the fuel pul dam can be touched with out removing anything ,it has an exposed rubber tit you can feel . If it is soft or rubbery it is all right , if it is hard or broken off the fpd will need replacing .

You should not smell fuel at any point under the hood unless something is disconnected or broken.

DO NOT DRIVE until the problem is fixed.

If it's a turbo I think it's bit harder to get at. Do a search on the forum for pulsation damper fix there should be lots of info. I just removed mine.
