hey everyone i have a 95 z28 and lately when i come to stop lights etc ive been smelling fuel sometimes a lot and sometimes very little. It has a aftermarket fuel pump that was installed previous to my buying the car. I looked at the fuel rail area etc and didnt see anything. Anyone have any ideas on where to look etc. Sorry if i sound dumb but im new to these engines etc. thanks everyone

 

did you look at the FPR? when those go you can smell fuel.

 

Can you smell it when your outside of the car. If it smells strong by the DS rear by the fill door it is probably bad lines to the charcoal EVAP canister or the canister is saturated w/ fuel.

 

thanks for the advice its usually bad when ive been at a stop light for maybe 15sec or so. it seems to smell a lot more on the drivers side . its weird tho cause the car has to be warmed up etc it seems.

 

It could also be an exhaust leak or loose spark plug if your car is running rich. i had the same problem and it was actually my spark plug was about to fall out.

 

yea i never thought of that i know my driver side header has a little exhaust leak every now and then and its burin a little rich i can tell.

 

If the fuel seem is from a satuarted charcoal EVAP canister, what can we do to prevent the replacement from being soaked too?

 

Make sure the purge system is operating correctly. Don't try to fill the tank all the way to the fuel cap level.
