R32 GTST Fuel Line Replacement?

[eXc]

Hey Guys,

I have had a pretty bad fuel smell in the car, coming from the rear (boot?). I can smell it outside the car at the back. I can also smell it bery strong when you open the boot, if I have been driving. I can't see a leak anywhere, but I have decided to replace the fuel filter, and thought well while I am at it, the fuel lines will be old and perished anyways, I might as well spend the money and replace all the rubber fuel lines anyways.

How hard is it to replace the rubber fuel lines (not the metal ones).

Do I need to drop the tank? Or can you manage to use the old line to pull the new one through?

Any ideas how much length I will need, and where the location of all the lines are? I can see there are 2 in the boot, going underneath (havn't followed them yet - hoping I can save some time talking to you guys)

Cheers

Chris

i only get a fuel smell using BP ultimate

i had that problem with my R33 too.

I tried shell optimax on saturday, and didnt smell anything. im gonna stick to optimax from now on. i also got 560kms out of 52L.. not bad eh?

Interesting. I might switch for a week and see, cause I was runing Synergy when I first got it, but switched to BP...

If anyone can answer my questions I'd appreciate it still

Pulled the tank off to look today.

There are 3 lines going to the tank, 2 of them go to the fuel pump, which are about 30cm long each, they attach to metal lines which go to the front of the car.

I replaced them

There is another that runs towards the front of the car..didn't follow it. It didn't look perished at all.

Wonder if it will fix my problem.

The tank was covered in this goo-ey stuff. I dunno what it was, maybe rust inhibiter or somehting, but it was terrible.
