Ok, so I can't figure this out. Car was jut put back together, she has 800 miles on her.
Fuel mods:
walbro 255
sbr ss fuel feed line
850cc injectors
full throttle speed fpr set at 43.5psi (or close to it)
As far as I remember everything was fine for the first few hundred miles. Then I start to notice that it smells like gas while driving. I ignore it, the next day I fill the car up with gas and go to work. Go to leave work and noticed a huge puddle under the car. Pop the silver cover to look at the top of the fuel pump and it's dry at the top but you can see it's wet around the twist on cap and leaking down.
All the hoses and lines are dry as a bone. So it's somewhere from where the top of the pump connects to the tank. I took it out yesterday to see if my rubber seal is kinked and it was not. So I put it back on and made sure everything was really snug. Drove it around the block and then parked it in the driveway.
Come out this morning in hopes to drive the car and notice another puddle under the car. Not as big though.
Has anyone had problems with their seals? Wtf could be causing this?
Also, this is odd: The car was sitting in the driveway for 2 weeks and nobody touched it nor started it. no puddle of fuel nothing. Then all of a sudden it decided to leak like a mofo.
how does this happen if I never put pressure in the lines or anything. I don't get it.
