smell gas
Hey guys has anyone had the smell of gas come throught their vents with the air on. It smells like gas outside the jeep. Cant find where its coming from. Injectors look fine lines look fine. Any input would be great it has to be killing my fuel. Thanks

I had gas blowing out of the fuel rail at the port where the vacuum hooks too... The orings can go bad, unfortunately you have to buy the whole piece... No prong replacement... Check it... Worth a shot

I had same problem with my 94 once, If I remember correctly I believe it is the charcoal canister issue. check the hoses make sure they're connected correctly and not loose or clogged. 1 of my hoses was cracked, when I replaced it, the smell went away.

Ya could of been bad news for sure. Thanks for the input guys. Anyone else ever have that problem and what would cause it? And the only place i could find a line was the dealership. Thinking of checking the junk yard but would you guys trust a line from the junk yard? Its the line that hooks to the fuel rail

Is it a rigid line or flex? Rigid I'd be OK with junkyard. If it's neoprene flex I'd go new.

It is the soft line and metal. I went ahead and picked one up this morning from the jy and it looks good. The soft pats it not brittle like the one that broke. Still thinking of getting a new one but had to get her on the road sense its a dd.

You never know when you are gonna make a "lucky score" at the JY. (you should see my hatch gasket!). Maybe you could use the savings to pick up a little "ABC" fire extinguisher.
