Fuel Smell

I am getting a fuel smell at random times, sometimes after warming up, sometimes cold. Car fires RIGHT up first crank every time, flawless.. Just get a fuel smell and like 260 per fill up.. Thinking of sending injectors off to cruzing performance.. just wanted other opinions/things to check first.

I remoed charcoal canister and the senor is just laying there, ahh.. And I have crank pulley and custom CAI..

lets hear opinions. I used search BTW

I discovered a pin hole in my return line, nicely tucked on the rail by the tranny & firewall

Check your lines, just don't use a lighter to inspect

Return line

Sounds good, I will check that today.

Has anyone else had a similar probelem like what was described.. Also, Every say 2-3 tanks I run a can of Seafoam through the gas. However, I think the injectors just need a good ol fashion rebuild from Cruzin performance.

Might have to basically park the car until those are done and then see how the car runs..

Off topic, But what motor flush seems to work the best ?

I have read some good things about Keresone to flush out a motor.. Any thoughts?

That's a lot of Sea Foam

Motor flush.....I've used the one in teh silver can, not sure of the name but it had a K on it. Used it on my Blazer. Got out a lot of black oil, then I read about it later & thought "hey, yeah it breaks up sludge & what not, but how much oil is being left on the bearing surfaces after it's used & when you start up the engine after refilling w/oil???" Personal call on it.

All engine flush is Keresone with some more lubraciting properties. Just want to find that nice balance as Im thinking pure keresone is too much, however keresone does have lubricating properties in it

Take a can of engine flush, and some keresone, read ingredients . take notes

I heard Gunk flush is good. but.. paying 3 bucks for quart of keresone seems kind of silly when I can buy it for 150 per gallon @ the station

Anyone done say.. 3 qt of keresone 2 qt oil combo? That should work just fine.. same **** as what comes in the can, would probably get more out as well.
