    Fuel smell rear passenger side liner

    Hey what's up guys

    Have noticed an old fuel smell lingering by the rear passenger wheel well.

    Its obvious, no spilled fuel as its been present for a long while. I have replaced my gas cap already - (unrelated, but relevant)

    Any other guys experience similar? Know there was a small piece of hose in that region that mpower22 had been selling.

    Am thinking that may be the culprit, or something larger? Just a touch sketchy, when dealing with fuel.

    Thanks in advance guys!

    Might want to check the Formed hose from filler pipe to tank connection. There might be a small crack at the upper part of the hose where the fume can escape but not leak.

      Will give this a look see....

      Smell is stronger while in rear wheel arch VS just by exterior gas cap cover.

      Any other guys experience similar? Just using caution, because again...Fuel.

            If you remove that liner you'll see a swath of fuel line emissions hoses back there. Check those out, one could be rotted or loose.

            But yes, I still sell the tank fuel filler hose too as a lot of them are starting to degrade these days. Here is the link:
