Installed New Fuel Pump - Now Have Strong Gas Smell in Exhaust

RMARIANI · 10-19-2001, 06:57 AM

I changed my stock fuel pump to a 155lph BBK pump. Car is running great and have no visible leaks but if I'm stuck in traffic or standing behind the car I get a really strong gas smell. It's definitely coming from my exhaust. Is this normal?? Should I be concerned??

What's the pressure at?

Take care,

Like Chris asked what is the pressure, we just put a 190 in my buddies car and his pressure went from 38 to 44..his regulator was weak and now with the increase in pressure it runs rich. He is getting a Kirban this week to back it back to 38psi, what do the plugs look like?

Chris- I like the "Pissed Off G4 Mac Graphic", do you run a MAC or PC?

Rick-
Thanks! I've got 2 Macs: a first gen G3 and a 6 month old G4. I just installed OS X (10.1) and am having fun playing with the graphics. The "pissed off G4 Mac graphic" is an icon I picked up at ResExcellence.

Take care,
