just yesterdey i noticed a Strong Gas smell!! I opened the hood> First thing i looked at was the Fuel Rail! I looked at the pulse dampener! Dont see anything! i also traced the fuel line from the filter going into a metel hose back to a rubber hose but cant really see any fuel leak! anyone have any ideas! are there fuel line issues with the 88 rx7 13b Non turbo?

 

Of course you need to fix the leak before a stray spark finds it.

Jumper the initial set plug & turn on the ingition (without starting it)
That will energize the fuel pump without the engine running so the leak will be easier to find.

 

edit: nevermind

 

Jumper the fuel pump check connector. This will allow you to pressurize the fuel system without the motor running.

then look for that leak... And start carrying a fire extingusher in your car...

 

exactly! thats what im going to do! Also i just found the fuel leak! its coming from a rubber hose Under the intake manifold! looks like it go's to a "pipe bomb" im guessing some other fuel rail underneath thats if the rx7 has two fuel rails! not sure why if thats the case..scary! lately i had three fuel problems! the car only has 122k thats why i got it!

 

Your car has 2 fuel rails. One for the primaries and one for the secondaries.

 

yeah that makes sence! im not used to the fuel system! thanks for the info

 

that thing you're calling a bomb is you PD, it not connected to the rail directly on 1986-88. Replace your PD (130-140 depending on where you get it) and you're gold. But you like peace of mind, I suggest running SS line from the fuel filter to the rails.

 

Can I get a picture of what line you're talking about that you found leaking. I also have a fuel leak that I'm having trouble finding.
