I smelled gas when I started the stang yesterday and I looked and the fuel reg was leaking! I know it has a couple of o rings and that might be the problem but what do you guys/girls think ? New o rings or new reg? Also will the reg leak if the vac line is not connected ?

car runs fine looks like it may be from the bottom but I didn't look that close just wanted the car off with a fuel leak!

If your mechanicaly inclined pull it apart and clean the gasket in it. Its basicaly the same design as a high end paintball regulator.

No negative trouble shot and it is leaking internally! I have my own homes (2) and I have a good job and a second job moving heavy jets for my rich uncle with a white beard! [patriot]
