Hatchy 23 Posted July 29, 2013 Hello i drive a 94 xg not sure if this is the right section for the post bit anyway. I seem to smell when i turn corners and i notices i have fuel residue coming from the cap? Does this mean i need a new cap? Or is this another issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GspecZL 979 Posted July 29, 2013 you smell? Have a shower. Sorry mate had to do it. You may need a new cap if it is leaking. Im surised you can smell it though. I would check for another leak as well. 2 Mr Polson and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hatchy 23 Posted July 30, 2013 Haha some times i stink but thats methane and pheromones haha i'll get a fuel cap on the weekend when i have time. Having a heightened sense of smell probably has something to do with it. I smell dog shit from the next block before anybody else, its a gift but also a curse at times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hatchy 23 Posted July 30, 2013 Seeing as im on the topic of fuel. What can i do to get a little more fuel economy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SLO247 1,713 Posted July 30, 2013 They often leak. Try a new cap. For economy: All ignition components done Fuel filter Set the timing, go a few extra degrees New O2 sensor. Use a quality brand one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thom 6,654 Posted July 30, 2013 Hooter thermostat, most of the time when people change it they put a colder one in and then the car stays in warmup mode running richer than it should 1 Crazy2287 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
