Hello list,
I have been away for a while and just returned a few days ago. I was deiving
my car a few days ago when it began to have starting problems. Drove it to the
store and back home, came out about 10 min later and the interior smelled of
gas. Checked the lines and did not see any leaks. I have also had this smell
the past few times I have filled the tank. The filler in the trunk looks good
and does not appear to be leaking.
Any ideas on what it might be?
The lines look like they are starting to go, so I am going to replace them. A
local mechanic said that he uses braided brake lines for fuel lines. Has anyone
heard of this, I would not think that the two were compatable. I am not a big
fan of braided lines, but he claims they last longer.
Also, should Iworry about fuel leaking when I change them out? The car has half
a tank in it.
Thanks,
