[The BUCKY]

[rmeyer114]

what kind of info u need i can give it to u but this is what i can give off the top of my head... it does it at random times and the cat on it is new and the car ONLY smells like fuel on the inside never gets that smell on the outside when its just idleing

check your fuel pump in the rear.... i bet the door where the fuel pump is. is not sealed right and you have fuel pooling on top of the tank... if what you are talking about is that 240 in your sig.

i have an idea look at ur fuel reg. mine was leaking and i had a bad fuel smell If the fuel regulator is leaking, then he could smell it from the outside. but he had stated that the smell is coming from inside the car when it not moving.... so how is it the regulator?

Friend has the same problem. As Dirty Mech said ... check ur fuel pump.

mine does it on a full tank with my 93 civic cx when i take hard turns, only does it if the window is down. Its the seam at the top of the tank where the cap neck is welded. I'm gonna replace it sometime before next spring, it gives me head aches.

O-ring on your fuel pump cover. Common problem on 240's. 10 min and $2 fix.

hello,

First of all you have to check your fuel pump that it was seal. You have to check all the fuel pipe claims. Inside and outside both you have to check. May be it was loosed that's why your fuel was split. It is not minor matter beware for it. Thanks...

height and/or rigidity of the car?..i dont think thts ur problem. gas sloshes in everbodys car..urs is just getting out...=bad. did u chek wht other ppl said?

[rmeyer114]

check all fuel lines, everywhere. colder weather causes parts to contract a little more and sometimes clamps work themselves loose.

could be a fuel injector
