i know its a common fault for the zeds to smell of petrol, which mine does. so i got the fuel line kit in the group buy from smithy, actually i got sent 2 sets for the price of one.....cheers paul ;)!!!!!!!! (cant keep it though!).

 

The kit looks very tidy but it hasnt totally eliminated the smell, although has helped.

 

ive had a good sniff in the engine bay and it seems to be coming from the passenger side rear of engine, near the battery. ive tightened all the hoses i can see but was wondering if theres any others ive missed? :mad:

 

any help would be appreciated!

There is one short hose that Smithy doesn't replace, it's towards the back of the plenum, just on the passenger side of centre IIRC.

There is also a fuel pipe at he front of the engine that connects the two fuel rails, its under the throttle linkage, and its a little bummer to get to.
