gas disappearing!

[rps13freak]

ok i know this sounds weird but i only get around 150 miles per tank(only 3/4 dont let my car get under 1/4 a tank). i recently got my injector seals replaced and it got to this. its better than it was before. but i can smell the fumes alittle after i drive the car for a while. what do you guys think this can be?


oh ya... i changed the fuel filter. the thing was black inside. the engine has 210,000 miles on it.

so you cahnged the filter after you noticed this problem or after you changed it you noticed the problem

[rps13freak]

no its always been bad im jut trying to find out what it could be.

edit* i know its not the fuel filter because i made sure it was tight and there are no leaks around it, ive checked plenty of times. and when i saw my old injector seal, i laughed. one of the broke in two in my hand.

[orestes]

well you could try lighting a lighter along everywhere the fuel goes and as soon as you blow up, then you know thats where the problem was.

sorry im tired im going to bed my only guess was taht you fucked something up replacing the fuel filter

[rps13freak]

i told you it was bad before i changed it. and how can you fuck up something by taking 2 lines off and putting them back on.

[orestes]

yeah and that was my only guess. so now all i can say is try to light it on fire.

[rps13freak]

wtf is up with you?

[orestes]

lack of sleep

no the filter was put back on right. it is something other than the filter!!! i told you guys that this was a porblem when i bought the car. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FILTER!!!!!!!!!

I dunno man cheak the filter, haha just messing. Check all of the fuel lines thuroughly. Check to see if maybe you are running too rich, like your computer is using too much fuel(more than needed).

[rps13freak]

ya i think that i might be running to rich. the guy i bough the car from replaced the fuel pump. can it be pumping to much fuel?

[orestes]

well the pump should only pump how much its being told to so it sounds more like tuning problem than the pump going crazy.

[rps13freak]

thanks ill get that checked out.
