while im driving during wot it smells like fuel .. but when i put it in neutral and rev it .. i dont smell fuel .. does this sound right?

before it only smelled like that when the second turbo kicks in and thought it would be fuel line on the secondary rail or the o ring on the second fuel injector

 

Yes you should be!! it cud lead to an fire! get it checked out asap!

 

Check the engine bay for fuel leaks. Do the diagnostics way of getting fuel pressure then check that way. I mean you could be running rich and just smell fuel. check it out and be cautious

 

how much of a smell? is it heavy or just a whiff? i have this too but it just an ever so slight quick whiff and only with the windows open and only at WOT sometimes.

id be interested in hearing the possible reasons for this.

 

yeah thats what i was thinking .. that i was just running rich .. yeah its just a quick waff .. but ill check my fuel rails tomorrow

 

I really don't think you should be smelling any fuel whatsoever. maybe its a loose fuel line that leaks when it sees alot of pressure. i had the same problem and it was just that. goodluck finding it.

 

You should not under any circumstances be smelling fuel while driving down the road. Check the car out immediately.

 

I just replaced my FPD. It was leaking fuel out, and the top of my motor was saturated in fuel.

 

If Im not mistaken, you can also get a fuel smell at WOT from the brake vacuum boost line if it has been changed and the check valve in the line is not present. The OEM line has a check valve inside to stop boost pressure from going back up the line. Would also cause a whooshing sound under boost.

you should really get it checked out. i had a automatic fd and i smelled fuel and later that month it caught fire. so dont let it go get it checked out asap! usually the fuel lines get old and brittal so it good to replace them after at least 70k.

 

...fuel pulsation dampner, its under the upper intake manifold. $20 part, but a pain in the A$$...with that said, have fun.

 

I wish it was $20. $115 from Malloy.

 

This car has a check valve in the brake booster line?

are you sure?

 

Yes.

 

which one is the brake vacuum boost line?

 

In my picture it is the large diameter blue line attached to the brake booster.

well i checked under my hood cant really smell the fuel that much but still can little bit and moist of almost dryed but still little kind of wet (kind of like if u spill the engine oil and leave it their and it looks almost dry but yet still wet, i hope u guys know what i am saying) so my question is what should i do? the injectors look fine. should i pull out the whole railing and replace the orings and the lines in the engine bay? but i shud also let u guys know that i got this takin care of last yr, cud this be from b4 and mechanic probly didnt clean it up?

 

oh ya and heres the pic of that thing where their was little bit of sum sort of moisture or sumthin on top of it and around it

 

Im assuming its your FPD, mine was smelling like gas, and noticed a pool of gas on the top of the block!, replace it.

 

ya i dont have pool of gas but something is their thas almost dried if u know what i mean! ya i ll take a look at that
