Fuel smell only when tank is filled


Recommended Posts

Any ideas on what to check for?

 

As stated, it only smells when tank is filled. There are no leaks/drips.

 

No smell at all when tank is below full.

could be as eaglescout suggest,  takes only a gallon or few to get below sender access hole...   recently went through this a few months ago on a NEW sender

the O ring had deteriorated within months of new install...  changed o-ring vendor and 'so far' OK

 

other area are the two vapor line access on TOP of the tank... there's a valve up there connected to two vacuum lines leading to charcoal canister under hood.

the lines could be rotten or have dislodged.  the valves are retained with a rubber grommet also...

 

you say no drips, that is also good...  and bad for diagnosis

 

check fuel fill also on fender side of tank.
