Hi
I have been searching the forum for help with a newly occuring problem. On my way to work i noticed a slight fuel smell coming from the back seat. So when i got to work i pulled the botton seat out of the back seat to gain acces to the fuel pump area. When i pulled the cover i noticed a faint fuel smell coming from where the fuel pump is located. I could see that there was an area that had fuel there prior but was since dried up but a stain remained leaving me to believe that i need to replace the gasket that goes inbetween the fuel pump assy and the fuel tank. I did take a screw driver to the bolt and some where loose so i tightend everything up and hope this stops fuel from leaking. My question would be what would cause fuel to leak between the fuel pump assy and the fule tank? Is there a fuel pressure regulator on this model of car? If so would that cause this problem? Also I have not noticed anything wrong with idle or excessive fuel consumption. everything seems normal except for the fuel smell and evidence of a leak at the fuel tank where the fuel pump assy is located. thanks for your help and suggestions.
