96 B4V, has an AFN replacement due to a tensioner causing the TB to fail and lots of interference happened. Lately I've had a noticeable raw fuel smell when getting out of the car after driving it. And sometimes could smell it in the car as well. Looking for the reason I noticed air bubbles in the supply fuel line with the car idling.
Every piece of fuel line and clamps have been replaced from the hard line before the fuel filter to the IP. I've tried different fuel filters, and different "t's" (the thing that fits in the fuel filter). Nothing seemed to make a difference.
There is absolutely no sign of fuel leakage anywhere, I've had someone else with more knowledge than me look with no success.
Would bad IP seals cause the odor and the bubbles? Thats my next step, to reseal this IP.
My MPG's haven't changed, seem to get around 800'ish miles per tank, and the performance with this engine seems to be the same. I don't know if I'm being overly critical, but sometimes when its been driven for awhile, over an hour, it doesn't accelerate quite as well as when it's cold.
If not the IP seals, any other suggestions?
thanks
Steve
