what did your sending unit look like when you installed a walbro pump? rotten and suspect? the lines (rubber) are affixed properly…? ---

There is also another little hose that you can’t see unless you drop the tank this little metal piece can rust a little hole. It did on mine. All S13s smell like gasoline. ---

i noticed this too when windows are down. I just changed my sending unit and theres no leaks anywhere. :? its even more noticable with a full tank. ---

> [@enzos\_lil\_schumi](#): > > i noticed this too when windows are down. I just changed my sending unit and theres no leaks anywhere. :? its even more noticable with a full tank. Its the 3rd line. I don’t know what its for but it is the problem. You can’t see it through the sending unit hole. It’s a small piece and gets a rust crack. Or if you are driving an '89. It’s one of your injectors. ---

Theres a decent size line(bigger than a brake line) that is cut and brazed. Im asuming this is my vapour line. Where is this line located at one and and where on the other end. sohc.
