Good News, Bad News

Good News -- New Nitto tires came in day and they are now on the front of the car. :)

Bad News -- Think I have a fuel line leak. Clues - gas leaking out when engine is running, took 1/2 tank of gas to drive to Town Fair Tire and back, only about 20 miles, very strong smell of gasoline, a noticeable trail in back of the car. :(

Looks like I don't get to drive the car this ... ... ... :mad:

I had a gas leak for a long time with my car!!!! There was a leak under the drivers seat for at least a year or two before I fixed it. It's just gas........ what could go wrong?


HEHEHEHEHEHE

I just had Dan at Southern NH Undercar make me all new braided stainless fuel lines for the 94. Not going to mess with fuel issues!!

[Jibber]

Wow!!! You should take it back to the seller and demand a refund.. LOL

I hope it's an easy fix. Have you talked to Rick about it?

Good News, Bad News Update -- went out and started the Cobra to see where the gas leak was; and gas was gushing from the #3 cylinder right at the fuel injector. Hope it's just the fuel injector that needs to be replaced.

Yup easy to replace injector with the "O" ring that sits on top. Hardest thing to do is pull fuell rail out. Injectors just pull right out.

I had similar issue with the 07, when you pull injector inspect "O" rings. Mine had a defect, replaced, no issue since. I bought the "O" rings from ford, had to buy a bag of them, if same as yours call me and I'll give to you.

Many, many thanks to Prez Rick for taking time today to drive 40 minutes to my house in Derry to fix the problem. Gas was gushing out of the #3 cylinder fuel injector. Rick took the O rings out, and replaced them even though they looked OK. Started the car up, no leak noticed !!!!

THANKS AGAIN RICK....:D

Randy, glad the fuel leak was fixed with no major problems. Hooray for Rick!

[rhoidahl]

Yup, car is all set; took it to Henniker earlier today to take my daughter to lunch (Bradford Junction Restaurant) -- car ran great (especially in that cold air), no sign of any gas leaks. THANKS AGAIN, RICK...

[TorchredSVT]

phew randy....that is good to hear

Were those the stock injectors by chance? Was the o-ring noticibly worn? Curious why that one decided to fail..........

[rhoidahl]

I don't believe they were the stock injectors, I think Rick upgraded them when he built the car . The O rings did not look cracked or worn, but the leak stopped when the new O rings were installed.
