Hi All,
I have noticed a fuel smell coming from behind my driver side rear wheel/rear of car. It is not that strong but noticeable if you concentrate (initially thought I could smell fuel coming into the cabin which lead me to investigate). Reading up on other posts suggests it could be fuel breather lines that are the problem. There is no noticeable fuel leaking though.
Was after some advice:
- Does this seem like a fuel breather line problem?
- If so, is it dangerous? Dropping the tank to fix it seems like a big job. Should I wait until the fuel pump goes and fix it all then? How much would this cost?
Car info:
- VS commodore with just over 250,000 Km.
- Haven't ever changed fuel filter/pump/injectors and have never had a problem with these and have always used standard shell unleaded fuel.
Appreciate any thoughts/suggestions anybody may have. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Luke
