i smell gas

[rawdog_natiboy]

has anyone had a problem wit smelling gas fumes from their cb7? it so how did u fix it?

[Leung]

about where do you smell it? you might have ruptured a fuel line if it's towards the front of the car. if it's coming from the exhaust, you might be running really rich.


what part of Cincy are you from? I'm in Delhi.

i smell it in the front and back seat



forest park.

are you going through a tank of gas a lot faster than normal?

I'd park your car outdoors and then jack up the driver side. use your sense of smell and sniff out for a real strong odor of gas near the rear driver side wheel.

I Have The Same Problem With My Cb7

I Have The Same Problem With My Cb7 And When I Smell Gas It Is Always When The Engine Is Cold And When I Smell It I Have Large Amounts Of White Smoke Coming Out Of The Exhuast. Does That Mean Its Running Rich And If It Is How Do I Fix It

Gee that sounds familiar. Just had the same thing, wondered why I was getting 15 mpg all of a sudden, started really worrying about people tossing cigarette butts at my car when I was stopped at lights.

Look where Leung said, you should see some fuel lines coming down, there's a fitting that rusts out.

are you sure it's white and not blue? white smoke means you're burning coolant which could mean your headgasket is blown. Blue smoke means you're burning oil, your rings might be fried.

if you want to know if you're running rich, look at the bumper right above the muffler, look for black soot.

[accordtypeR187]

yeah there is black soot in the muffler tip

there is black soot in the n1 muffler tip but not the bumper

isnt there a drain plug on the rear driver side?

I have the same problem and i need to fix this asap! But i thought H/I/E make you run rich? Nail05 told me to do a tune up but i've done that already! Would a hotter spark make my cb run better? Sorry to thread jack.

Are you sure your asshole is not letting out air past your buttcheeks?

ive smelled gas in my car in the past as well. come to find out i had tracked some in on my shoes after filling up my car on a rainy day there had been some spilled gas, i guess, at the gas station (who'd a thunk it?) and with the rain it had puddled up around the pump. filled up, tracked it in.

just a thought.

Usually the steel piped on the fuel sending unit is to blame. Check right beside your rear left trailing arm, that is where the rusted pipes should be.
