I have a smell of gas very potent and i cant figure out what to do or were it is ... and i have never replaced the fuel injectors or anything invloving fuel in my car and it has 141thousand miles on it . What can i do ? Should i upgrade to bigger injectors or what . I am in the process of building my car to have alot of power so i dont want to spend alot of money but i want more power than what i have even though i have alot. Already, thanx

 

no sign of any leaks ? i had my Z smell of gas as well, i installed a new exhaust system and got rid of the smell. my OEM exhaust had some pretty decent size holes

 

You have a fuel leak. Remove the cover on your plenum and follow the fuel lines down to the fuel rail and around it. Try tightening all of the hose clamps along the fuel line. That's likely where your problem is. You shouldn't drive the car until you find the leak and fix it.

 

Listen to 91zxtt. Unless you have lots of insurance and don't mind torching your car, fix it before you drive it, and while working on it have a fire extinguisher handy just in case.

 

Thanx but i need some more help like where ......... most of the leaks people have had ......like where they were at and .........one more how much do you think it will cost to get it fixed if i do it all myself b\c i do all of the work to my car myself. thanx guys

 

Start the car and start looking for a wet fuel hose.

 

Mine was near the throttle linkage, where a hose connects the two fuel rails. One of my clamps was loose. You can even just turn the key till your dash lights come on and that will start the fuel pump and pressurize everything. There are writeups on many of the Z sites, should be some here, or try twinturbo.net or 300zxclub.com I think TT.net has a sticky that says, tis the season for fuel leaks that you can click on.

 

Isn't that the truth....whenever it gets cold.

 

"and i have never replaced the fuel injectors or anything invloving fuel in my car and it has 141thousand miles on it "

thats why! follow all the lines liek they said and replace the immeaditly, if its not any of the lines, check the regulator, also check the dampner when these go bad its common that gas gets sucked from them into the plenum, also possibly check your vacumn lines from the fuel pressure regulator

 

thanx guys
