vasso Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I got good lesson which i´d like to share with you. After I filled up my fuel tank i parked my sc 400 inclined to the fuel lid and it was very big mistake... Today morning I opened the door and it was nightmare... there was such of gasoline smell I couldn´t survive. As you know gasoline steam is highly explosive, some bad coincients (bad connections etc) and you don´t have the car any more. I think I know the cause of this leaking, fuel tank is behind the back seat and apparently fuel leaked out down to the back seat because tank was fulfill. I hope that smell is gone afrer while and of course I never will do it again. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 I'm not positive but maybe it's the fuel tank cap gasket, hence fuel leaking out of filler hole. Manual says to replace it every 6 years/ 60,000 miles. If not that it is possible to take out the fabric wall in the trunk to the fuel tank. The clips that hold it are tricky; pull the panel down a bit to take a look at the clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
