On my way to work I started to smell burnt metal and automatically figured my caliper is stuck do to a new brake job w/o replacing the calipers. I also started to smell gas in the cab....

What you guys have to say about that?

Pretty sure my Monday sucks more than yours...

 

Did you clean and lube the caliper slides and make sure the pads moved freely? Sorry bout your luck!

 

I'm pretty sure I did everything right... I'm not even worried about the brakes... I'm worried about the smell of fuel

 

What kind of shape is you fuel filter in? All rusted? Check the fuel rail also.

 

Idk... Getting ready to dive into it now... Just got it towed home

 

Check the filter, they rust out, causing the fuel smell.

 

My filter is in my gas tank... my fuel rail itself is almost shiny, no rust... I read something about the evap canister but idk...

checked fuel lines and nothing that I can see is leaking... does it have to be an injector and bad o-rings?

 

T here's no filter on the drivers inside side of the framerail right in front of the rear tire?

 

If you had a bad injector o ring it would be wet there. If the evap system becomes clogged it could possibly cause a fuel smell. That im not too familiar with.

 

I mean there's residue around one of my injectors... But I have no clue where to start as far as the Evap system

 

Me either

 

I used to be a tech. Evap codes were always the worst. You made no money on them! It took forever to find a leak and we had a special sniffer to use.

 

There's got to be somebody that's had this issue

 

Maybe wait for cruiser54 to get on, he is a genius with OEM tech. He would probably know the evap system in and out.

 

did you over fill your tank, if you just topped off (and I mean TOPPED off) you could have overfilled your tank filling the vent lines and charcoal canister. if thats what happened you'll smell fuel until you burn enough to draw the fuel out of the EVAP system.
