I think my car is leaking fuel. It's not a lot and I don't see the fuel shooting up or anything like that. However, the smell is there (much stronger than normal.) Also, normally, my fuel pressure gauge would read around 2.5-3 bars. This is when the engine is off and when it is on (but in neutral.) Today, it did read 2.5-3 bars as usual when the engine is on, but almost at 0 when i shut down the engine. I'm pretty sure the car is leaking a little bit of fuel somewhere. The smell is very strong around the fuel line that goes into the rail (SR20DET.) I also didn't see any fuel spot underneath the car. Any idea on what i should do or where else it could be leaking?? I will buy some new fuel line tomorrow and maybe change them. Would the car still be safe to drive??

 

I remember on my old 300zx the fuel line going from the pressure regulator to the fuel rail HAD to be "high pressure fuel injection hose." I changed those two lines about 3 or 4 times before I finally got the right hose. The regular stuff would swell, crack, and leak within a day or two. You can get the special hose at advance or autozone. Good luck.
