Default 03 Z Is Leaking Fuel

Last week I was getting off work and warming up the car when I smelled gas. It was spraying out by the header where the fuel line goes into the metel conector. Took it to Nissan becuase I need to get the "Fuel Recall" taken care of anyways and they didn't find my problem. Getting off work tonight and I'm dumping fuel again. Anybody else have this problem?

They didn't fix it for you when you had the Fuel Recall repair done? I'D BE PI$$ED! Have it towed back to them and point to them where the fuel is spraying from and make them fix it. If anything happen to you or someone else due to that kinda fuel issue they can be held liable due to there being a known fuel recall on the 03-04 Z regardless. If they don't fix it... Start making calls. Good luck.

It takes alot to get me going but I am pretty pissed about it because I wasted a whole day on it not to mention gas that is spewing out of my car. (I keep half 101 octane at all times in there so its more expensive)

Yes mine does it too. I have not had the recall done, but I have noticed fuel smell and seen some residue where you describe.
