I noticed the smell of gas today while my E30 was sitting in the garage. So I looked around and noticed that at the bottom of my FPR there is fresh gasoline. I wiped it up and now there is more fresh fuel. So it is leaking and I can hear a hissing noise coming from it.... Any ideas if I can fix this or will I have to buy a new one?

More than likely it's the o-ring that goes betwen the FPR and the fuel rail. Just replace it, right away.Originally posted by Waynegro
The hissing is the sound of pressurized gasoline spraying around your engine compartment waiting to ignite.

Roger that. Thanks for the fast response. I think you are dead on, that is the exact spot where the small leak is at.
Is it safe to drive as is to the stealership to get the part?Comment

Okay I pulled the FPR off and the rubber o-ring was all torn up. I put a new o ring on the FPR, gonna see if that works. BRB. Thanks everyone for the help so far. I will update.
Update: The o-ring was the problem, back to normal. Thanks everyone.Last edited by Waynegro; 10-24-2005, 05:00 PM.Comment
