Fuel Smell and fuel gauge reading problem !!

[soul infector]

Thanks guys ... specially Legmaker , tomorrow am going to mechanic to see whats going on with the fuel pump and go back to you as soon
as i have any solution

[soul infector]

gents - in regards to the fuel gauge, be sure to check a VEEEEEEEERY tiny little magnet that is the pick-up for the signal to the guage. it attaches to the metal float rod and slides along the fuel sender as the float goes up or down. i had an issue with my gauge no working correctly as well after my fore hat install and sure enough this littel bugger had fallen out and was stuck to the metal float rod. when i say this thing is small.....i am not kidding!

If you can get us a picture for that magnet that would be great !!

O wow I can't justify spending that much cash on a rarely used tool. Thanks for the link though.

Yep..... same tool I use...... or I should say borrowed from AMP! lol

this tool makes life much easier and eliminates the chance of punching a hole in the tank with a big screw driver.

I'm too dumb to do things the easy way.

fuel smell - you have crappy lines
faulty acting sending unit - either pass side connection is bad/loose or you floater is getting caught onto the crossover. you will need to bend the arm towards the front of the car for clearnace

So this means to replace the rubber line for what?

When I did the Arrington fuel hat upgrade & Speedlogix fuel lines, the fuel smells start as the OP pointed. I will be happy to fix this due I am tired to checking for leakings without success. Somebody point the rubber lines are not smell proof.

I was suffering the same cranking problem for months. A simple tune update fixes it! It seems the extra fuel was the problem for long cranking time. Now, it always starts on 2 or 3 seconds cranking, almost as before the upgrade.

Thanks.

if your setup is actually not leaking, then its just the smell bleeding throught the lines. i think someone sold extensions from the hat to connect to the lines outside the car to help with the smell. what lines do you use?
and as for the cranking problem, a tune cant fix that. on a return setup when the pumps are off, the fuel drains out and theres no pressure. when you go to crank it, if theres no fuel already there, it wont fire up till its there. when you turn the key and wait 2-3sec, you will hear the pumps start and pressurize the system then cut off. i just turn the key till everything is about to shut off then crank it.

This appears to be a chronic issue with the Fore fuel hat and may be an installation issue these Mopars. I had the very same problem with fuel smell and fuel guage not reading accurately. I had Arrington install the Redhorse Racing fuel lines and return but had the smell issue anyway. Also had the start issue. For the smell I just live with it. For the fuel guage, my issue was as described by Legmaker, the sending unit was replaced. In regard to the start issue, I upgraded the electrical grounds for the battery and tranny and installed a new battery. I also wait a few seconds to crank the motor. Based on what I read, there are commmon issues to all of these builds and the remedies have been addressed by folks that have found solutions that seem to work. Beans to all that responded with advice.

Rubber/stainless lines. I will search who offer the hard lines replace the inside the car rubber lines and see what happen.

Thanks!

I already have Stainless/rubber lines and still smell fuel inside the car everyday i go work in the morning ! so my solution is to keep sun roof open and one of the rear windows in the garage !

the smell seems to permeate the rubber lines, regardless if you have the ss braid around it like I do. I'm guessing you'ld have to upgrade to the poly fuel lines, or is it some kind of hard silicone. I've looked it up before and now I can't recall the material its made from. I think it was a opaque/whiteish color.

Getting ready to tackle this install and sounds to be a beeyotch of fun. Where is a good place to get all the fitting and lines and parts ? I will be running a reg. and double pumps return style setup. Is there a write somewhere ?
