Fuel system check

1. The fuel system is best checked when the vehicle is hoisted or placed on jackstands to allow access to parts from the underside and make the job as easy as possible. The main fuel tank is mounted on the rear left side of the vehicle.

2. If you smell gasoline while driving or after parking your car in the sun, the fuel system needs to be inspected immediately.

3. Turn away a stopper of a jellied mouth of a fuel tank and check up on it presence of traces of corrosion and laying damage. Replace the plug if necessary.

4. Check, being under the car, a condition of a tank and a pipe of a mouth. Especially carefully inspect the connection of the neck with the tank. The presence of punctures, cracks and mechanical damage is not allowed.

5. Carefully inspect all rubber hoses and tubes extending from the tank. Check the connections for signs of wear, pinching or other damage on the hoses. Especially carefully check the condition of the vent pipes and hoses of the tank, which often wind around the neck and are pinched or clogged. Track the condition of the hoses along their entire length, to the front of the car. Replace damaged sections of pipelines.

6. If you still smell gasoline after the checks, check the EVAP system (see below).
