Kerry Lange Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I've had a fuel smell from my '83 Olds 98 Regency for a couple of weeks. I've checked under the hood several times and can not see any fuel leakage at all. The whole engine is dry. The fuel pump is not leaking. I've been under the car and can find no leaks. It seems to be coming from the engine compartment. The air filter does not smell of gas. The carb is clean and dry. All vacuum lines have been replaced. Fuel lines are O.K. The car starts and runs fine. Any ideas on where I should be looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronvb Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Common fuel odor would come from Charcoal cannister- for emissions,should be near radiator wall,check lines that run from cannister and trace back to front of carb.There is also on some models a purge valve located between carb and cannister--if there is gas in valve-replace.Replace any lines cracked or worn.ronvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
