smell of raw gas

[hardmx]

I'm have a Grand Voyager Rallye 97

I get the smell of raw gas and spend alot of gas but only on long runs more than 50 miles and only if the speed is more than 45 miles per hour.

If you look under the car, you can see the gas tank wet on the botton, but for example at the morning there is not gas aou of the tank ( is not wet )


some ideas ?????


tks in advance.

My '96 Grand Voyager had a gas smell. Turned out to be leaking seals on the fuel manifold, covered by a recall.

I had a similar problem on my 97 Voyager LE.

I finally found that there was a crack in a small rubber hose that connected the fuel tank to the steel fuel line that routed fuel up to the engine, and it only leaked when the system was under pressure. The faster I drove, the more fuel pressure needed, the more it leaked. Standing overnight, the pressure would be released and gas evaporated, so morning checks didn't show any dampness.

$0.85 chhunk of fuel line took care of it for me, hope you can be so lucky.

i had the same problem, first time out away from any parts place and it was squirting gas on my exhaust pipe! Trimmed a little off and stuck it back on. Worked for a while and started leaking again - new hose cured it.
