Gas Smell? is The Fuel Pump Cover. 2011/2014 Mercedes c300. gas smell how to fix it.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

if after fill up your tank, you star smelling gas and you noticed that the first half of your tank evaporate fast; you most likely have a bad "Fuel pump closing cover" this cover usually get cracked or damaged by adding too much gas on the tank, for example, i used to fill up my tank and after the pump stopped pumping gas, I continued adding more all the way to the very top.

    Hi. Most likely you have the same problem, the best way to check is by having the tank competently full remove the seat and the metal plate that cover the pump and inspect for cracks on the fuel pump cover. And to replace it is better if the tank is in 3 quarters empty or so to avoid any gas spill.

    Hello friend. After you inspect both sides of your tank ( passenger and driver side covers) and you have no leaks, you can proceed to take the back tire that is close to the gas filler nek, you can inspect around that area for possible leaks, keep in mind that this process is bet to do it with the tank totally full, to make it easy to spot any leaks.

    Hi. (No it didn't had a leak underneath, if it did i didn't saw it) what happened with my car was that every time I fuel up I had a bad gas smell inside, I thought it had a cracked hose or something broken underneath but it was just the fuel pump cover. You can probably start checking on the top first that would be the easiest if you don't see any gas on the fuel pump covers( check passenger and driver) you can check underneath it would definitely makes it easier to find leaks when the car is full of gas.

    Hi, I drove my mercedes smelling like gas for like 2 months before I fixed; is probably better if you don't keep it in the garage. If you don't have the time to fix it right away, what you can do is next time you fuel up only add gas to half tank to avoid gas leaks from the fuel pump cover.

    Hello friend. The first place to check is the fuel pump cover(passenger side) and the fuel filter (driver side) both are located under the back seat, this are known for going bad. If no signs of gas leak then you can take the back tire off(the tire that is close to the fuel filler neck) and take the cover that is around the tire so you can see if your fuel filler neck is cracked. YOU MOST CHECK THIS WITH YOUR TANK TOTALLY FULL it would be easier to spot the leak. Thanks for watching.
