Morning chaps, I have read on this forum about the potential fire hazard from leaks onto a hot exhaust. Our mate Dave the engineering genius has checked over the engine bay and says Lola has had all new fuel lines and carbs and can see no leaks but when she is used there is a really strong petrol whiff. Is there anything we need to check or be mindful of? Thanks
What condition is the fuel filler pipe that is hidden behind the firewall - that can perish. On top of the tank, behind the firewall again is a couple of breather pipes with small 6mm diameter pipes, they can perish too.
You get a certain amount of fuel smell if you are running gauze filters. What do you have? Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
No smells here, zero. Not from the vents, inside the bus or in the engine bay. There are many possible causes and the last and smelliest one for me was fuel leaking through the sender terminals when I brimmed the tank.
Mines more of a ‘hot oil’ smell, which when mixed with the interior ‘cheap Vinyl’, smell, is quite satisfying, for some strange reason... Hmmmm....
I have had somebody come up to the bus, lean in to the window and get all nostalgic about the smell...
