    Default Inlet manifold gaskets causing bad fuel smell

    Hey guys,
    I know my inlet manifold gaskets are shot but I am getting a really strong fuel smell when accellarating moderate/hard, Cornering or reasonably hard braking. I have checked vent lines etc and all seem fine. Could the broken inlet manifold gaskets possibly be causing this super strong fuel smell? If not does anyone have any suggestions... Cheers!

    Check the lines to your charcoal cannister (front driver's side of the engine bay).

    Just in case you havent check the filler hose. Mine had a bad fuel smell and I traced it down to the hose clamp on the neck being loose.

    Thanks GTS... Ill give that a look

    Wraith when you say filler hose do you mean the actual hose that flows the fuel down to the tank when you fill it up?
