Question after doing replacing the fuel pump, what if it leaks in the from the top after filling up? Do I need to go back and slightly tighten the bolts on the pump? Its not leaking from the grommet its leaking from the middle of the tank.

My car has several things wrong with it that can kill me but unfortunately I have to wait 10 days so the ministry can call me to book an appointment for an officer to look at it. The dealer sold me a totalled car. Covered up a rotten subframe with rubberized coating so he didn't have to replace it. Play in the left tie rod which is part of the safety. The day I drove the car off the lot I wasn't sure if I was going to make it home alive because the steering wheel was being yanked in different directions, confirmed by my mechanic that not only was the steering wheel off center but the ball joints and control arms would need to be fixed before an alignment could even be performedor it would be sent back. The timing chain needs to be fixed, if it breaks while I'm driving it the engine is totalled. When I make right hand turns my dome lights come on so I'm not sure if there's problems with the wiring. I noticed a leak under the vehicle and when I go up to my car I can smell gasoline while it's parked so there's a fuel leak somewhere. And God only knows what else is wrong with it. Those are only the things I know about that have been confirmed by mechanics.

Yes very important to find and fix the fuel leak immediately. I had a 68 Buick Riviera that had a small fuel leak at the carburetor. It erupted. I turned the car off. However, the fire melted the writing harness causing the starter to crank the engine and spray more fuel on the fire. Bottom line the car was a total loss.

My 2017 grand jeep cherokee limited had gas fumes inside all the time after starting it up. After 2 months the jeep dealership found it was the fuel rail ends leaking. They replaced it and my gas tank with a new gas line because the gas nozzle kept clicking off while trying to put in gas. So far so good.

When you remove the lower o ring, you have to pull it over that disc looking thing, what if that's cracked or a piece of it is missing? Would that affect anything or is it just there to hold the o ring in place so it doesn't fall off when you hold the injector downward?

Got in my Honda CR-V and headed to garbage dump. Tank was almost full. Started smelling gas 2 minutes into drive but no indicator was lit up on dash for engine light ie gas cap. Car sits in driveway as a barely used car. The smell of gas was getting stronger but I figured maybe it was because it hasn’t been driven in over 4 weeks. Drop off garbage about 12 minutes into the drive and noticed I was almost to half a tank of gas left so then I thought to myself the gas cap has to be loose or completely off but kept driving home. About 5 minutes away from home I noticed I was down to a quarter tank of gas so new I just lost 3 quarters of gas in just 18 mins. I pulled over to check gas cap but it was good then I noticed a water pouring onto the ground noise and looked under car just in front of of rear driver side wheel and saw gas dripping down almost pouring amount below gas tank. So I finished heading home which by the time I pulled into driveway I was almost on empty. Google and KZfaq searches showed either fuel pump or faulty fuel lines. Some states over a thousand dollars of repair. I wanna fix this myself but don’t know how to. Help needed on diagnosis and fix for driveway fix!

I hear of a vehicle catching fire about twice a month around my area and figure this is what probably happened. Oops I smelled gas but kept on driving it. My 2007 Subaru Forester is currently parked until I can check it out. Plugs, wires, and air filter recently changed; but a couple days ago I noticed the gas gauge is dropping too fast. Car is running good so I figure it's leaking gas somewhere.

I have 4 evap codes on my 4.3 and the truck shut off on me 3 different times. I've did a fuel pressure test, cranking was at 60 psi. Leak down test of 5 mins left it sitting at 40 psi. So I moved on the air and spark. Wasn't getting a consistent spark, so I went ahead a replaced the distributor and rotor, ICM, wires and plugs. Fired up, drove a short distance and shut off again. So I guess my questions is. Would the 4 evap codes/fuel leakage be the reason for the vehicle to shut off going down the road and also the reason for randomly starting up while I was testing different possible issues?
