Strong Fuel Smell....

[komokefe]

Hey guys ive notice a strong fuel smell in my car everytime i hit the throttle? ive did some checks like checking the engine for any smell or leaks but douldnt see any, so i go to look under the car for leaks on exaust etc... still no sign, so checking to see if they are coming from the air vents while window is up still no sign, but once i drive my car with windows down, the strong smell just appears?

any ideas?

cheers

Hows your fuel economy?

I sold my old R33 a while back and it had a similar problem, (could always smell fuel but could never find any leak) the guy who bought it off me said when he got it tuned the oxygen sensor on the exhaust was faulty and it was causing it to run too rich using too much fuel. If you have no fuel leaks and it's not been replaced in the last 40K thenit may pay you to replace it.

Check fuel filler, fuel tank breather lines, etc for perished hoses.

mechanics have tried looking for leaks through the fuel lines etc... but had no clue?

*note* ive got a dump pipe straight of my wastegate welded onto the manifold? could the smell come from the dumpy?

Fuel filler, from what i've read here. A mate of mine had the same thing (very strong smell when cornering) and it ended up being a crack in the rubber surround of the filler... which is added when complianced. (at least on his car it was)

i have the same prob with mine, i noticed a while ago wen i turn the car off i could hear a hissing sound from the fuel cap and the smell seems to be coming from there, going to put a new cap on it now to see if maybe thats the problem, u no, the cap not shutting properly, mite resolve my other acc issues, maybe im losing fuel pressure.just a thot, check it when u turn ur car off, listen to the fuel cap and smell that area.
