When my car is started i smell a strong sense of gas, but when im driving i dont smell it.. Strange huh??...When im parked with the car on i smell it

What could it be>??

 

hmmm...not to be a smartass, but i'm gonna go with fuel leak

 

Yep, probably a line leaking on you

 

but where???

 

yea i suck at installing injectors and i always pinch an o-ring. fuel also evaporates pretty fast so it may not leave a puddle or anything. i'd get it checked out ASAP. when my fuel rail was leaking, i couldnt smell with when driving, but when i was idling or just sitting in my car, i could really smell it.

yea same problem.. is there anyway i can do it myself.. i dont feel like paying anyone..Is it a e-z fix??

 

Did you **** with the hose going from the fuel filter to the fuel rail? If you did those washers need to be replaced or some liquid gasket needs to be thrown on em. I'm just thinking of that cause the fuel filter is so close to the air inlets for the fresh air mode on your heater... But yeah get this **** fixed asap... Otherwise KABOOOM!!!

if your looking at your motor it's on the upper left side of your firewall. Search for "fuel filter" if you need to see a pic

 

i did a search, found no pics.. if u can, find one and post it up for me

-thanks

ps. or show where it might be leaking at, so i can have a good idea

 

what have u resently done... wheni oput in a fuel pump.. the gasket moves arouf the pump so it didn;t sit rihgt.. i smelld gas during idle.

 

is your car stuttering at all? if u got a leak like that, the pressure would be a bit off. my line popped cus the intake was rubbing the line, and my gas shot out like a **** fog system! and of course, the car wouldnt run, jb weld fixed it, $5!!!

 

possible fuel connections that can be leaking:
- fuel tank outlet from tank (under rear seat)
- fuel inlet (return line from fuel rail)
- fuel filter inlet/outlet
- fuel rail inlet
- between injectors and fuel rail
- between fuel pressure regulator and fuel rail
- between fuel pressure regulator and return line

if you don't know what these things are, pick up a Haynes manual from your local auto store (~$15 at most). it'll show you pictures and everything

 

I believe an exhaust leak will also cause your car to smell like gas on start up. I know mine started to smell on start up after i had my exhaust piping redone to 2.25".

 

well i just looked at and i think its in front of the car.. 1 of the injectors had moisture to it.. the last 1 on the right.. and my car is acting dumb.. Like reving by itself.. rpms going up and down by itself.. i checked the fuel line, its fine.. I have a 90-93 honda accord manuel.. would that help??

Couldn't it also leak between the injectors and the intake manifold?

here is a picture of where to find your fuel filter.

In the second picture, the fuel filter is just to the left of the throttle body.

Hope this helps.
