R34 Fuel Filler Leaking?

[nissanmanS12]

My R34 GTT smells like fuel when i start it up...

Ok, say i put the key in and start it up u look back at the petrol cap and you can see petrol fumes coming from that area.

Everytime i go to fill up with petrol theres no suction in there, not pressurised, as in when u undo the petrol cap it doesnt "ptshhh" lol

Is it maybe a common problem others have experianced??

Theres no fuel leaking from the filler or lines etc

Thanks a bunch

yup same thing here. its constantly letting the pressure out. although mine still goes pssssccchhh when i take the cap fully off. but my cap doesnt seal properly

So maybe it is just the fuel cap then... Either way it cant be good for fuel economy or fuel pressure thru the system when driving a bit harder.

Tha cars only done 40,000kms. Wierd. been in aussieland for 2 years.

Has any1 replaced their R34 fuel cap b4? It should be as simple as using any newish nissan one yea?

I could use my S14 cap i suspect...

dont have that problem with mine, never smell fuel.

I would look at getting a new fuel cap, you shouldnt be seeing fumes coming from the filler cap

mine had same problem

check the filler neck itslef the one with the flap. when they import them i am sure they put this bit in and do a shit job at that

mine was stuck in using some plumbing tape or some shit.

Took it out, cleaned it than used some "quick-steel- i think its called and sealed her up

yes now i get the pssssssht when releasing the petty cap, sometimes tho i guess depends on temperature and how much is left in the tank
