Fw: [s-cars] Fuel smell at startup

[Jan Nielsen]

I hade the same on mine.. it was the the fuel line that goes from the fuel
filter in the engine room.. there is a steel threaded fuel line about 15/20
cm long.. that has a tendency to leak when its getting old... u might not
get any leak while the car is warm, only when its hot.. thats cause fuel/gas
penetrates cracks and stuff much more easely when its cold...   but dont buy
that fule line OEM.. juts go to a shop and buy a steel threaded line and
replace it your self.. cause it's a hell of a job to replace the whole fuel
line and it cost about 100$ or more, at least in norway. i paid 4$ for a new
steel threaded fuel line that stands 15 bar..

 Regards Jan
