'91 Wrangler, Fuel odor while driving
Hey all, I have a '91 Wrangler I-6 4.0 and I've been smelling fuel
vapors as of late. After I'm driving I inspect the undercarriage to
see if I can find the source, but I'm unable to. The odor is strongest
in the rear driver's side wheel well, and there seems to be a liquid
leak in that vicinity, as the grime I wipe off my axle and
undercarriage smells of gasoline. I've taken it to my local mechanic
(not a jeep dealer) and he was unable to find the source of any leak.
I know my nose is not lying. Anyone have any ideas?

Could be a hole in the tank . Or check the fuel filter. One of the lines
might be leaking. With the gas prices how they are and gas being an
explosive . I'd check every thing. You could try a pressure check on the
tank and line. Bill or Mike would prouble know better then myself.

Re: '91 Wrangler, Fuel odor while driving
If you live anywhere near the rust belt another possibility is the tubes
on the top of the fuel sender. My '91 recently developed a hairline
crack in the return line. Since the gas gage hasn't worked for years I
went ahead and bought a Crown sender/pump for around $185.
