Fuel leak?

[JOBY_GST]

Every time I start my car I get this smell of gasoline and when I put the car on gear and start accelerating to move forward the smell gets even bigger, could this be a injector seal problem? I have a walbro fuel pump, I don't know if the injectors are oem or bigger cc, could this be another fact?

Well you could check the injector seals to see if they are leaking. Do any gas pools form under the car when its running and parked?

Youll have to look everywhere fuel is could be a number of places.

i forgot to mention that sometimes it misfires and when it does it suddenly smells to gasoline :/ and i know it misfires because my engine mounts are horribly bad so it moves the whole car :/

Engine mounts wont cause it to miss fire. You could have a dirty injector, bad filter, bad pump, or bad regulator. You should do some research to find out if the injectors are stock or not. Is there any gas puddles underneath the car? Also check the o-ring on the fuel pump.

I don't believe he meant it will cause it I think he meant its easier to tell when it is IMHO. Really need more info here to help, is it leaking? Is it modified fpr & injectors, what size walbro? Is it re-wired? And so on a boost leak test will show if the seals are bad thanks.

You can go to your parts store and ask for a oil uv dye and buy the uv light and glasses and youll find your leak.
The oil uv dye is for the fuel to.

You should be able to find the source if you go through the fuel system. Or if there is any evidence ie small pool of gas or gas under the car I would try to trace it back to the source. Driving with a fuel leak is not something I would continue to do

How do you make an eclipse bark like a dog.... Woooof rofl seriously tho don't drive it if it is leaking that bad. It is really not that hard to trace back you could also leave a poster board or a large piece of cardboard under it. Makes a kind of map for you to track them down.

What do your a/f readings look like when this is happening? There are so many different scenario's for this situation. But if you arent physically seeing any fuel coming out,then you are just hella rich possibly. A list of your current mod list might help us a little bit to help pinpoint the issue. But if you do indeed have a fuel leak in your engine bay,make it a priority to figure it out.
