95Finder Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Whats up, I have a fuel leak and was wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms and what the fix is for it. I had noticed that the car smelled like gas. The gas seems like it might be leaking from the line that goes from the fill hole to the tank. The rear shock on the passenger side is completely covered with gas. Can I pull out the filler thing and inspect the line for cracks? If not then what is the best way to inspect the line? There is also a discolored line running right under the gas cap that runs down the outside of the body. I am thinking fuel is leaking down the inside of the fender wall and causing this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgranch Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Check the cover of the pickup inder the carpet in the rear. Many times the gasket fails and has fumes inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Sounds like either a tank seam is leaking or the filler hose is leaking at a clamp. Get under there with a flashlight(no matches or lighters) and look to see what's up. Eyeball it, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Finder Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Thanks, I actually took the rear passenger side wheel off to try to see where it was leaking from. It is coming from one of the three fuel lines that are attached to the inside of the frame rail. Anyone know how much new fuel lines cost for the Pathfinder or what size diameter and what lengths of ss line I would need? Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
