TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 14y 20d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 19/09/11 08:37 AM Share Posted 19/09/11 08:37 AM Hey guys, doing a mountain run yesterday, half way up I noticed a fuel smell, thought nothing of it, got to the top and my fuel pump was noisier than normal ( bosch 044 ) and a fuel smell on the left side of the car around about where the pump sits in the tank. I got home and pulled the pump out and whacked it back in, seemed to fix the noise but could still smell it. Now today, the pump is noisy again and the fuel smell is a little stronger. I don't think the pump is shagged as its only fairly new. Mates XR has the same problem. Anyone know what it is, or what it could be ? Thanks.

But it is after market. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76984-noisy-fuel-pump-and-fuel-smell/#findComment-1142458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
