car shuts off when start and gas smell here and there

[dark240kid]

Ok so i have a 92 nissan 240sx. i'v been having this problem for awhile now. When i start my car i have to give it gas or the car will shut off..i also get a fuel smell here and there, but not all the time..any ideas what might be going on? can it be the fuel filter? i checked injectors

Recheck the injectors, probably running rich. Also check fuel pressure and tank pressure, you may need a gas cap.

Not sure if its the same problem, but my s14 was leaning out when i stepped on the gas. Almost to the point it would die. make sure all you fuel lines are tight. You dont wanna suck air into you fuel system. Its good you checked injectors but there are several other places for this to happen. The clamp on the discharge side of my fuel filter was loose and sucking air into fuel and throwing off air/fuel ratio. Im lucky fuel didnt spray out and ignite. Sounds to easy but thats what my problem was. I aslo smelled fuel and was getting crappy MPG

i will look into that..That actually sounds more like it because it is running a little lean, and the injectors are fine. will give it a shot, and let yall know.

Have you taken the fuel cover off where the fuel pump sits in the tank that little rubber rings sometimes crack dont sit in the groove where they belong...

and this ring is what i am talking about f*** thing

[dark240kid]

yeah i still can't pin point the problem..will that ring cause all them problems though??

[turbonxsx]

I know it causes the fuel smell and imagine if the ring is missing you would have fuel pressure problems or lack of fuel pressure?? something to think about!!!!

:wtf1: fuel pressure from a tank gasket ...are you kidding me? That's what a regulator does.

Thread cleaned, warning issued. Keep the fighting off here. If it were educated argumentative discussion about the topic then by all means, but not what was posted.

As for the O-Ring. Gas smell yes, problems not likely.
