guys im getting a stink of fuel through the heaters every time i start the car. its quite strong to begin with then seems to dissapear after ticking over for 5 mins or so. i swapped out my scoobyworx fuel pump as it failed and put my original walbro back on until i find the time to fit the new pump darrel sent me. checked the pump etc and no leaks there under the back seat. the only the other thing i did was change the fuel filter when i was trying to find the fault with the pump. maybe i have put the fuel connections on wrong? put them on the same way as the old one i think. the connection with the arrow is fuel in i think? pic here:



when ticking over you can feel the fuel pulsing or throbbing through the pipe and i guessing thats normal? would the car run if it was the wrong way round? the car will be going in to a local garage i use but looking for ideas before it goes in. thanks for looking.

Have a look under the headers at the fuel pressure regulator. Mine had the same fuel smell issue which I finally tracked down to worn pipes to the fuel pressure reg that was dripping neat petrol onto the top of my engine! Eek.


Have a good look around with a torch to see what you can see when the car is running.

 

wow! Eek. indeed! exactly my fear m8. fuel leak and hot engine dont go together well! def getting her in for a check over. meantime i bought a fire extinguisher for under the front seat just in case!
