D.C. Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 OK, trying this again. The part in the picture below was leaking gas the other day. I smelled a strong odor of gas, looked under the hood, and it was leaking. My wife has complained of gas smell off and on (it is her car), so this problem happens sporadically. Any ideas about what part this is, and why it would occasionally leak? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonw Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thats the fuel pressure pulsation damper. Not sure why its leaking, but there are two thin metal washers that you want check that are on the damper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it it just cost effective to replace this part rather than troubleshoot it? OR could the fuel pump be overpumping or something, and maybe this part is designed to leak like it was?
