gas smell - round 2

üBER.QIK · 10-10-2005, 02:23 PM

I opened the fuel pump service cover (the 3-screw plate behind the rear passenger in the trunk) - and found the base of the electrical connection wet with fresh fuel (puddled on each side of the connector). There are no leaks on any of the surrounding hoses/clamps.

Does anyone have any service manual pics of the area? I'm thinking I just need new gaskets - one around the connector (?) and the large one which attaches the fuel pump to the tank itself.

Gasket around the fuel pump went bad. Everytime I filled the tank would get a gas smell. Car was under warranty at the time so the dealer fixed it.

Looks to me this might be a one piece unit.

since I can't see the underside of the hoses... but they do seem dry to the touch.
