Running fine but smell fuel after driving.
That pretty much sums it up. No starting, Idling or running issues. I have the FUEL INJECTOR CONNECTION Bosch Gen III injectors from John. Fuel pump replaced 2 years ago.. I cant find any liquid fuel anywhere up front and cant tell if its coming from front or back.??? Just seems all around the car when you get out.
I haven't noticed any pressure in the tank when removing the cap lately but its cold now. Charcoal canister not smelling of gas.
The tank should hold pressure blowing into it by mouth shouldn't it?
Going to try this now but any other suggestions appreciated.

I don't suppose you cut your fuel lines and spliced them with hose when you changed the pump?

Re: Running fine but smell fuel after driving.
Tools and time. Dropped the rear and did it by the book. Not my only driver luckily.
And I mis-spoke. There IS a good deal of fumes coming from the charcoal canister. You just have to run it for a while to get it to do it.
There is an open port at the top of it with a small white tip on it .
I dont see a line that would go to it. Looks like it should have one. Is there supposed to be one on it?

Re: Running fine but smell fuel after driving.
The canister has a Larger line going to it but on the top of the diaphram there is this other port looking hookup that I described. I'm guessing it should have a SMALLER vac line on it?
Now where the heck does the other end come from??

Re: Running fine but smell fuel after driving.
Should be. I'll look after work. I have the shop service manual too. Can't figure where the line might be. I looked around a bit for one but I was hurried, like usual..
