XE Running rich!

[BENJIEGSI8v]

Hi guys i hope you can help.
Im running a c20xe in my cavalier daily runner. Withing the last week it is sucking through fuel and you can smell fuel when driving.
With no change to the right foot pressure and no leeks any idea why this could be?
Thanks

Sounds Like The Fuel Inlet Pipe ' The One That Is Bolted To The Fuel Rail. Mine Showed No Leaks But When I Touched This Pipe It P1ssed Out The Bolted Union checkthis out first as it is quite comon

is it dizzy or DIS? what colour injectors are fitted and what pressure fuel reg?

[chimp007_uk]

mine fuel hose on the injector rail developed leaks... couldn't see anything till you moved it and it wee'd fuel everywhere

I'd agree with whats been said especially if they are the fabric covered hoses, they weep fuel but you cant actually see them leak.

Sorry to agree as well but thats how i found out my baby xe had a fuel leak lol Looked fine untill you moved it and it got whoever was underneath nice and firey.

thanks for the help guys much appriciated. The injectors are blue and its a DIS! Your right you cant see anything but it really stinks of fuel alot more than normal.

Ive also got a small hole at the top of my tank! will that affect it in anyway?

[Nova_Tek]

It will effect the smell you are getting. The fuel sloshing around in the tank no doubt will release fuel vapours and will probably find its way into the cabin. I had a leaky fuel tank hose and the smell was crazy.

Also fuel vapours and hot weather = KABLAMO posibility :eek:
