J30t Fuel Odor

First thing in the morning I can smell fuel insode the passenger compartment. I turn on the air recycle switch to keep out the outside air and the smell goes away. Therefore I am assuming the fuel odor is coming in from the engine compartment near the wipers. This makes me think there is a crack in the injector lines, or something similar. Anyone have this problem?

first check the rubber hoses that run from the fuel filter to the fuel valves on top of the intake. Chances are you have a cracked rubber hose or a loose clamp. If the fuel rail were cracked you would have engine running problems, cause the pressure in the fuel rail would be lower > 0 and the injectors wouldn't work.

Thats it.

Btw. DO NOT drive with the smell! If you do not want to be in hell - on earth, that is.

The problem has to be correct for your own safety.
