Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / November 2006the smell of gasoline
Hello, My 1996 has the smell of gasoline coming from under the hood. I traced the fuel line from tank to engine and see no leaks. I parked it on dry concrete and see no drops. Anyone ever have a similiar issue? Thanks I had that problem last summer and found that it was the fuel filter in the carb was put in backwards (77 vette)....Since your probably fuel injected you won't have a carb....where is your filter and had you changed it recently?? > Hello, > My 1996 has the smell of gasoline coming from under the hood.

Messed up the seal and it was leaking raw gasoline. Thank you, I will replace that fuel filter as it is likely worm out. One other possibility - I've been running 87 octane since I've just been driving stop and go traffic the past month. Could that be the reason? > Thank you, I will replace that fuel filter as it is likely worm out. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > no. |
