Re: Fuel fumes in car.. yuck!

Derek-

One other culprit that I don't think has been mentioned before is the return
line from the fuel rail.  It's behind the intake plenum.  On my Verde I
began smelling fumes in the car.  Since the leak from this hose was so close
to the heater/AC intake at the base of the windshield it was instantly
noticeable.  This hose had cracked (old rubber) right at the hose clamp.

Good luck.

Subject: Fuel fumes in car.. yuck! 

I have an '88 Milano Verde. The car seems to let fuel fumes in sometimes. It

really bugs my wife, to the point where she's giving me a hard time about 
keeping the car (I might have to buy a Camry if I sell it.... 
SHUUUDDDDERRR). 

Any ideas why this might be happening? What can I do to stop this? 

Thanks, 
Derek
