stants Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Checked the fuel caps on tightly ? Which end is the smell coming from ? Fuel filler necks rust out eventually, Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenmamba Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Check all hose clamps on fuel lines in the engine bay are tight - cold tends to cause contraction and sometimes leakage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggysniffer Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 As mamba said, fuel lines under inlet manifold leak a little when cold, it's a known thing, may even have been a recall 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
