I just got my car running, and ive been fixing little minor issues. First was a oil leak... Got that fixed. Next was a coolant leak... Got that fixed... And now a fuel leak... Awesome!

Heres the scenario. When i got the car running after the build... I put a half a tank in it... Everything was good. I then got to a 1/4 tank... And i put gas in ti and it was at 3/4 tank. Everything seemed fine. Drove the car for over 100 miles and i brought it to my job. I wired up my gauges, and decided to fill the tank. I went to the gas station, and filled the tank. Brought the car back to my job (less than a mile) and parked it in the garage so i can clean my interior (wasnt cleaned in 2 years 4 months) i smelled a hint of a fuel smell. I took care of the interior, and then the smell kept getting stronger and stronger. An hour later... I went to drive the car home, and i decided to look under the car. I see fuel leaking and its leaking on the gas tank. I didnt have a jack or anything so i couldnt see anything else. I then took off my back seats, and opened the fuel pump compartment. The top of my buschur double pumper has a small puddle on top. I can only assume that the leak is coming from the top of the unit... And dripping down. Now i dried up what i could of last night and had to leave the car. I go back today and i see that there is another little puddle up on the top again. All my connections are nice and tight. I dont know what it could be... Im kinda worried!


Any help is appreciated!

 

HERE IS A PIC.

 

did you top the tank of ? as in after it clicked keep pumping ? that will allow the fuel to spill out alittle but dont think that is your problem everything looks ok but its been a few months since i last looked at mine and i have the full blown unit have you started the car and looked under and on top while its running.

 

The black thing that the red and black wire gos threw. Make sure that's tight. Mine leaked there and I spoke to david. Simple fix. Just tighten it. That's probably the issue.

 

Thanks fellas... Ill try that now

 

+1^^^^^^^ ON THIS.... I had the exact same issue with this setup. Ratchet that monkey down and you "should" be fine man. Let us know though yea.

 

I turned it like 4-5 times... Will that thing eventually get tight??? Lol

 

If it's not tightening, gently push and pull on the red and black wires to see if they still move in and out(up and down) if so pull them toward you (gently) and go back to work on the screw... it should tighten around that rubber stop that has the 2 holes in it that the wires are coming thru.

 

yea just tighten it down more.

 

It's not leaking now... I lost a couple of gallons... But the tank isnt full now so I don't think its leaking anymore. I have to see the next time I fill the tank.

 

Cheers!!!

 

I had the same problem.
I ended up finding where the leaks were coming from.
All I had to do is remove those fittings and put new plumbing tape back on.
Turn the car on and look at those fittings to see if its coming from there.

 

I think what ill do is next time i have to fill the tank... Ill take another look... Because it seemed to happen when the tank was full. I didnt have this isssue when i put gas in it the first 2 times which had the tank at 1/2 full and 3/4 full

 

interested in outcome. subscribed

 

Ill let you all know probably right after christmas. I lost a little over an 1/8th of a tank over night with all the leaking
