Is it an overflow from the carb? gas will only be in one of 2 tubes and they are the fuel line from the tank and the carb over flow. unless you have an electronic fuel pump then tubes go from tank to pump to carb. if its coming from the overflow then you are getting too much fuel into the carb float chamber. you may have a sticky float. thy getting some Berrymans B12 fuel additive and putting double the doseage in the tank. run engine til hot then leave it to stand overnight. this should break down any gum/varnish that has built up in the system

has this been in storage thru winter?

Hi, I have a 13.5hp Briggs & Stratton motor which starts and will only run on choke slow rpms and mild smoke.

check the point where the fuel hose goes to the fuel tank
there is very fine filter in the hose that could be blocked preventing full fuel flow
only running on choke indicates insufficient fuel flow

How can I stop leak?

Hi Charlotte:
You'll need to determine the exact source of the leak:
- Failed hose? Replace it.
- Hose not tight on coupling? If there is enough slack, cut 1/2 " off end of hose and re-install.
- Hole in tank or coupling tube. Repair or replace.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

I have 2010 mitsubishi endeavor milage is only 54695 it burns lot of gas

1) you might want to check the fuel filler tube to see if there any rust, resulting in fuel leaking out whenever you filled the tank.
2) check the fuel tank fill-up hose (sill hose) might have a hole- causing fuel leak when filling up the gas tank.
3) you might want to contact your dealer, there was a recall regarding the tank filler pipe and cap problems.

Gas leak on 1999 Isuzu Rodeo under neath the truck in front of the spare tire. What is the major problem and how much will it cost to repair?

If it is coming from on top of the gas tank, then you will need to inspect the fuel pump plumbing for a leak. It may be as simple as replacing the rubber gas lines.

My 1997 Rodeo had a leak coming from on top of the tank. After checking it out with a flashlight and a mirror, I discovered that the metal tube that runs down into the tank had rotted. Unfortunately, the metal tube was part of the fuel pump assembly and the entire fuel pump had to be replaced.

You can expect tp pay about $350 for a fuel pump from Autozone. I found one on Ebay (used from a junk yard) and replaced it myself for under $50.

Before you buy anything, make sure you identify the source of the leak. Like I said, it may just be a hose replacement.

Obd-2 code p1455

DTC P1455 - Substantial Leak or Blockage in Evaporative Emission Control System

The PCM monitors the complete EVAP control system for no purge flow, the presence of a large fuel vapor leak or multiple small fuel vapor leaks. The system failure occurs when no purge flow (attributed to fuel vapor blockages or restrictions), a large fuel vapor leak or multiple fuel vapor leaks are detected by the EVAP running loss monitor test with the engine running (but not at idle).

Check this possible causes:
After-market EVAP hardware (such as fuel filler cap) non-conforming to required specifications
Disconnected or cracked fuel EVAP canister tube, EVAP canister purge outlet tube or EVAP return tube
EVAP canister purge valve stuck closed
Damaged EVAP canister
Damaged or missing fuel filler cap
Insufficient fuel filler cap installation
Loose fuel vapor hose/tube connections to EVAP system components
Blockages or restrictions in fuel vapor hoses/tubes (items also listed under disconnections or cracks)
Fuel vapor control valve tube assembly or fuel vapor vent valve assembly blocked
Canister vent (CV) solenoid stuck open
Mechanically inoperative fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor


Check for audible vacuum noise or significant fuel odor in the engine compartment or near the EVAP canister and fuel tank

Fuel tank leaks when filling at the pump

I'd check the clamps on the filler tube hoses. Also check to see if they are kinked, especially the small hose.

FUEL LEAK

I my friend have a question for you...
Did you top of the fuel tank after your last fill up?

It might be your fuel over flow tube under the bike,
that the smell is coming from.
It is designed to discharge the overflow safely
on the road beneath you...

Check it...Good luck.
