Fuel leak=vacation bummer. If you smell gas but can't find the leak...
Hey, I was up by Alpena Mi, last week and had a hell of fuel leak problem. I had been faintly smelling fuel for weeks but could not find a leak despite crawling all over the truck (91 runner) with a flash light several times. Figured it was a faulty cap or vent. Then on Saturday when I arrived it started spraying, misting and vaporizing all over the bottom of the truck. Like pouring it out of a bucket amounts of gas. Dropped the tank and found the fuel pickup assembly was rotted. Fuel pump swaps over to the new pickup and re-installs in the top of the tank. Had to wait for parts and that cut daddies fun time into one day of off-roading.
So, if you smell fuel and can't find a leak, check the fuel pickup and /or sending unit on top of the tank.

I was under my runner this past weekend changing the fuel filter and noticed the fuel lines back by the tank are swelled and rusty.

You think thats bad you should see under my Concorde. I noticed tons of rust after changing out the rear struts. Nothing more enjoyable then living in the saltbelt.
