strong smell of gasoline/smoke at cold start

[artpogi]

pansin ko lately, whenever i-start ko oto sa umaga or kapag matagal naka park yung oto (like sa opis) pag start ko ang lakas ng amoy ng gasolina.

I've checked my fuel lines, fuel filter and other hoses going to the engine wala naman ako makita sira.

ano kaya cause nito?

Car is a 97 GLXi lancer.

thanks

same here sa case ko. may konting usok na lumalabas na kulay puti....hmmm?

Question lang po EFI na po ba yung Lancer niyo? dun naman po sa isa, kung umuusok na po ng white smoke lalo na sa cold start malamang po yung Valve Seal ay masama na, sumasama na yung Oil sa Combustion chamber kaya ganun po nangyayari.

ask k lang, when do you smell gasoline, when your tank is full or when it's not?

check your vent hoses. sa front ba yun scent or sa likod? yun neighbor ko dati ganyan din. found out that the hose on top of the gas tank was cracked and was leaking gas when the tank is full.

sa likod po, kailangan pa po ba ibaba yung gas tank para ma check yung sinasabi ninyo na hose? Medyo di ko pa kasi na tse-check yung area na yun eh.

salamat po

i think you really need to remove the gas tank or kung accessible check mo yun small rubber hoses na papunta ng filler baka natanggal, vent din kasi yun.
