Fuel leak on top of the gas tank
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2025 11:55 pm
Hi all,
I just bought my first project, a US spec 83 320i, and noticed a gas smell when I was driving. I then noticed fuel pooling on top of the gas tank but that was from a gas line which I replaced and that stopped the leak. Later I noticed the low pressure fuel pump wasn’t locked into the tank, so I locked that in place and I noticed after driving the gas smell was back, and there was no visual leak but fuel was around the pump creating a smell
