So, i discovered a leak in my fuel rail where the line connects to it. I tightened up the nut right below the line and it slowed the leak down. Anyone got ideas? It randomly came out of nowhere. I already made an appt. at Chevy.

 

What are you running for mods again Dan?

When was the last time injectors were replaced?

 

Maybe a bad seal or fitting, kinked tubing etc.....

Shouldnt be a hard fix but that sucks since you dont really want to drive around leaking gas on top of the motor. Let us know what happens.

 

Who installed them? Dealership?

If so, freaking bring it back there and kick the tech in the nuts...

 

I'm running a 2.8", CAI, catback, stage2 injectors and tune.

Injectors, nor fuel rail have been touched since 3000 miles.

 

I also noticed a power decrease and HORRIBLE gas mileage as of this. The DIC indicates 32mpg HIGHWAY, but at the press of the throttle moderately hard or WOT, i can pretty much watch the gauge move.

 

Did you get the car to the dealership? I'm interested to find out the issue...

 

Sounds like Kate's car might be doing the same thing.

 

Got it back to the dealer, not the one that installed the Stage 2 kit but the one who fixed my car after my accident. Turns out, the rail leaks at every injector where they connect and where the fuel line enters the rail. I went to see what it looked like yesterday and every o-ring and seal was crushed. My car was a ticking time bomb for 7000+ miles.

 

Sounds like somebody F'd up your Stage II install, or accident repair.
No good

 

Accident repair was NOTHING under the hood, all suspension work. Weird thing is, i always had a slight smell of fuel. Then i noticed the Fuel Rail cover being slightly wet. Now this.

 

Kate's sometimes has a strong smell of fuel from the engine compartment especially at cold start up, but no moisture that I can see or feel.

 

I really hope i'm just being paranoid but sometimes I get a slight fuel smell when I get on it a little. I should have bought an Si. All the torque that these domestics are putting out are shaking them apart!!!





For the record I was just kidding about getting the Si.

 

Paul, you can check if you have a fuel rail leak issue real easy. We'll check it when we install your intake...

 

Honestly, i smelt it Monday night when i got home. Popped the hood, couldnt see anything, Tuesday morning i popped the hood and sniffed around, found the leak at the line/rail connection. Started it, and could literally see fuel start puddling around the line and eventually leak over. It was a constant drip.

 

Yay!
