Leaky injector gromets, I am going through this at the moment.

Or leaky injectors

G`day have a look at fuel filler cap i have had this replaced smell gone .goodluck.chuckie

As above.

Fuel filler cap is leaky

[xLaOsGe3x]

As above.

Fuel filler cap is leaky

filler cap or lines going to the fuel pump or lines coming out of fuel pump, good luck

+1 for the filler cap, put some of that playdo stuff that hardens like steel worked great

when they comply the car they dont do a good job of putting the filler neck in

hey mate had the same prob with my car as well

found out i had a fuel leak in the line coming out of the fuel pump

I agree with Mike,

Had this problem and it turned out that the seals and plugs around the injectors were buggered plus I had a couple of dodgy injectors. Was a noticeable fuel smell from under the bonnet and so this may be an indicator for you. May also be a combination of other problems as well for you

hey man

first place I'd seriously check if it's smelling in the interior is the fueltank to fuelpump holder o-ring

These tend to fail or not be installed properly on most(well the past 3 I've had)

Bascially undo the 6 nuts, lift it about 2-3cm, feel around for the grove and seal

the seal usually is either not there or has moved from the grove

It it's moved push it into the groove

If it's not there, you need a new one from nissan :S can't remember the part number to be honest, to replace it, remove the fuelpump holder put the seal in, then put the pump back in

If it's fine, yeah as above, leaky injectors, fuel filler cap or leaking lines

i just had the same thing in my car mate - smelt fuel inside and around my car...but there were NO leaks on the ground. i chucked the car up on the hoist and you could see fuel covering the fuel tank (tiny pinhole leak) - had to replace one of the lines and get a new fuel tank from the wreckers...

be careful because if you scrape over a speed bump and you make a spark and it turns out to be what i think it is..u can be in a lot of trouble.

Mine stinks of fuel if you put your head in the wheel arch. The filler neck seems in tact.

Got to get to the bottom of this.

You sure you're not driving a rotary?

There was nothing more refreshing than starting my day smelling of petrol after driving my car when I had my 13BT RX7. :laughing-smiley-014:
