Losing a lot of gas...
Hey guys. So I just got a new car, a 93 Cavalier RS. Everything seems
to be OK with it except that I noticed that I was going through a hell of a lot of gas. I think I put about $75 worth in two weeks. So I had a look at it yesterday and it seems to be coming from right behind the motor. When I put my hand back there it was covered in gas. I'm just wondering what this might be? I have to take it apart to be able to see back there. Would this be the fuel injectors? What other possibilities are there? The gas smell inside the car is getting pretty unbearable. And now that I know that it's leaking gas, I don't really want to drive it as I'd rather not blow up. Thanks for any help! |

If the smell is getting that bad you could have a possible explosion
with even a static electric discharge. Be carefull about parking your car in a poorly ventilated garage as well until you get the leak fixed. Most likey a rubber gas line or fitting on the manifold which is fairly easy to fix. If the steel lines are leaking it becomes a bit more difficult. |
