Gas Smell in car.

[Boostinsideways]

Doesn't go away overnight, dealership won't do the recall sooooo it looks like I will be replacing the fuel sender seal.

I already ordered a re-wire kit and an o-ring. Anything else I should check? No visible leaks, new injector seals, no exhaust leaks. Wideband is reading nominal... So I doubt a I am running any richer than I should be at cruise, and I am starting to tap out the fuel pump at WOT (Starts approaching stoic) so I will be re-wiring it at the same time I replace the seal.

I had a similar issue with gas smell, I tore the ring when installing my 190 somehow. Mitsubishi had to order it, being my dd I went to the junkyard and grabbed one off a 3g been good since.

It is isn't the fuel sending unit seal than i would look into the evap canister and see if it isn't saturated.

What would make you think this? If the sending unit gasket is torn vapors will go into the vehicle.


OP with the rewire read this thread and do the rewire like how it's shown in it.

I meant If it isn't the seal. I think it is more likely the seal, but was throwing some other options out there in case it wasn't.

Ah, I put an "If" in front of your post and it made sense then

It is another possibility but as you mentioned, it would need to be saturated and would take a lot to travel into the cabin through the vent system. Storage area would be smelling like fuel as well.

My 2g I had, did the same thing. Was really bad after filling the tank up, smelled so bad thought if I lit a smoke the car would blow up. Come to find out the sending unit seal had a nice rip in it. I replace the seal then no more gas smell

Yep, I get the gas smell worse when the tank is over half full, and its at it strongest when the car has been freshly filled.

I also don't have a charcoal canister/evap purge. The Previous Owner removed them before I purchased the vehicle and they were not included with the spare parts.

Does an awd 2g need two seals one for each side of the tank?

I take it you smell gas, and didn't want to start a new thread?

But my assumption is yes.

Okay so I guess I will order 2 seals one for each side thanks

 

[ceedawg]

Ordered from STM for each side today
