so i installed 550cc deatschwerks injectors and a 255 walboro fuel pump and one day when i started up my car, a huge smell of fuel was leaking into the cabin. i removed my fuel rail to see if the injected were out of place and when i slowly unscrewed the fuel rail, fuel squirted out of the first injector. i thought it was just cause the injectors werent pushed in far enough so i screwed it in tighter, but still, the smell of gas leaks into the cabin... any ideas? do i need a new fuel rail? or any suggestions on a fuel regulator?

stuck injector or possible bad o-ring perhaps?

usually leaking injectors are pretty easy to spot, and dangerous.

but im leaning more towards the fact you may have a tank issue after installing the wallbro. check your lines to the tank and make sure its sealed properly.

it may be coming up through the access hatch after the pump starts cycling.

Did you put a tiny amt of oil around the O rings on the Injectors before installing.. this can help to make sure the seat with the O rings not messing up.

Sure when you put in the walbro you sealed the cap right.

Everytime I got into my car, I smelled gas in the cabin. About a week later I had a major leaking hose in the fuel return system. So I would check your lines very cafefully.

Can you only smell it inside the cabin? Does the smell stop when you're sitting still with recirc on?

Dkfung88

yeah i can smell it inside the cabin and yes it does go away when i have recirculate on

And you probably can't smell a damn thing inside the engine bay, right?

I had the exact same thing. I never found out what it was, I just left re-circ on 100% of the time. I figured it was an exhaust leak, and I did have a minor leak on my manifold. :shrug:

Oh, and it's not the fuel pump.

Dkfung88

Did you drop the tank when you put the new pump in? I know on mine the vapor line was off on the side of the tank and the gas smell was horrible, once that was put back on, took care of it
