Fuel smell with the CJ Fuel System.....
Guys I have the CJ Motorsports Fuel System. Can anyone please post a pic on how to connect it with the fuel feed line?
I connected it but there is a fuel smell in that area, and when I run the car a bit the pressure drops allot. is it the heat from the turbo?
I have the Greddy TT kit.
Thanks

It is not because of the turbo, it is just a hard joint to get sealed but it could also be fuel dripping down from the regulator connections.
Turn the fuel pressure on and with the car on a lift or at least jacks check the connections very closely, make sure you used sealing tape and tighten the hell out of the connections.

Thanks for the help man.
Light a match and see where you get a flame.

Fuel can evaporate fast, but if you can smell it from a certain area than most likely a connection is not tight enough.

MOst likely, you need to apply more muscle to the hard pipe-to-AN adapter. I had a small leak that I couldn't fix. I bought a couple long handled wrenches so that I could get more torque on the fittings. it worked!!!
also, check all the other fittings too. I used a paper towel to wipe around each fitting to see if there were any small leaks. I had a couple small ones.

the hardpipe adapter takes a ton of torque to seal because the compression ferrule is made of steel. Its a common call that I get that is always corrected with more torque on the compression fitting. If you still have a problem after that, give me a call or PM.
You can read up on the hardpipe adapter install here: http://www.cj-motorsports.com/s1install.htm
If you have any pics of your install, feel free to share and I can tell you if I see anything odd.
