bushnut Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 could be you have a leaky filler pipe. seems to be common or more costly the top of the gas tank is rusting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I swear I remember reading about people having rusty fuel filler necks on here having a fuel smell as bushnut said. I personally just had to replace the fuel cap on my 88 wd21 due to it starting to fail and exhaling some strong fumes as you would walk past the gas door as well.

Rick13 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Filler neck is a factory recall. That's what I was thinking also when I read the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanrollins0217 Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 I have replaced all the emissions related selinoids that the dealer spec codes regarding the p1427 and p1430 for evap leaks replaced all evap lines and rubber tubing but still massive fume smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River044road Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Evap canister is on that side too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My Pathfinder has also lived in Florida its whole life and it still had the fuel filler neck replaced for the recall. Make sure it's been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Funny .. I did the filler neck recall years ago but, I still have the heavy fuel odor and the evap codes on mine. I'm sure that I'll need a new canister but I don't want to shell out the money for a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanrollins0217 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have thought about junkyards but I would be worried about cracks in the plastic but I wanna see how the top of the tank is and see about the filler neck recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
