Jeff, I had the same problem. My problem was that the fuel pump boot was not installed properly, and the gas was seeping out onto the top of the gas tank. Ididn't see a leak either. But I smelled it. So open up your trunk, and take off the cover over the gas tank and you'll see your fuel pump. Take off the hose clamp and inspect the boots on the pump to see if they are good. They might be old and require replacement. Then again, the one that is on thepump just be out of alignment. Check it out. Good luck! ---Dan #5493 ---------- From: Jeff Wiltzius[SMTP:wiltzius@xxxx] Sent: Friday, July 09, 1999 11:57 AM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Exhaust smells like gasoline? Hello fellow DMLers! I've been reading the archives (yes reading the entire archives) and I'm only up to Apr '96 so if the answer to my question is in there forgive me. When I take my car for a spin and then pull it into the garage- my entire garage stinks of raw gasoline for a day! There is no gasoline leak that I can see. Someone in the archives had a simlar problem and was recommended to look into replacing his O2 sensor. A little more info may help- the car has ALWAYS had this smell since I've owned it (last August). It idles quite rough (never stalls though) and in general feels underpowered (but then again I'm not sure what a normally operating DeLorean is supposed to drive like). To me, it seems like the engine is getting too much fuel and not enough air to explode correctly in the cylinders. I have not had a mechanic look at this yet- wanted to have some suggestion to pass onto him when I do. Is this something that I would be best having a Bosch-savvy mechanic looking at? Thanks for your responses and advice in advance, Jeff Wiltzius #6145 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just Tell Us What You Want...
