Strong Fuel smell after using 92 octane - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

K_style · 06-26-2010, 01:25 AM

I moved up to OR and thankfully 92 octane is standard premium fuel here..
but then I started smell strong un-burnt fuel smell while driving.... not all the time though
does anybody had this kind of experience?

FYI I have S14 SR20DET 550cc GT2860 3" cat-back with aftermarket Cat etc...
and tuned with Power FC by Frank @ Garage BOSO

This happened to me to, but turned out to be a fuel leak from the filter.

check your fuel lines from the rear to the front. Have a friend turn the key on to the acc position (when your fuel pump primes the injectors) get under the car, look and smell around the fuel lines comming from the pass side behind the pass rear tire going to your eng bay. then if there is no rotted lines just double check and tighten all of the clamps

should solve your problem.

Check the fuel tank gasket. Or the fuel lines. I've had both go bad a in a few different S13's.
