Hi Volks,
I’ve noticed a gass smell at fill up for a few months. recently I thought it had increased.
Today I started the van and sniffed around. I thought the smell was strongest by the rear driver’s side. Later I turned on the fuel pump but not the engine. I found that each time I did this there was gas on the second fuel filter. I recently had the 86 and later fuel filter added to my van. now I find a big gas drip there each time I turn on the pump.
I suppose I’ll start by tightening the hose clamps a bit. Also, If there is a issue in the rear where might I start feeling around?
The engine compartment fuel lines were replaced in 2013 but frankly I don’t really know what that means. I’m currently just following my nose and feeling around.
