Since I got my fuel pump upgraded I was noticing a fuely smell generally after turning off the car and today my mate noticed it was dripping fuel from underneath the car, but its only for a minute or two. So I'm guessing its pressure related. Has anyone else had this problem? I've done a few searches on how much stuffing arround it is to remove the fuel tank and I dont particularly want to go down that track.

Any help is appreciated

there will be something wrong with the seal or fuel line at the top of the tank where the pump is accessed from. it is very easy to do. there is a thread in the DIY section about how to change a fuel pump. it will give you all the info you need to access the area and check what is going on

Ive had the same problem as you a couple of months ago.

I noticed that my fuel was leaking on the tank side. But it only happened once. I left the car for a day then started it again didnt leak.

Took the fuel line off underneath the car and it was so old it started to crack. Replaced them and vuala no more dripo

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear

    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
