Here we go yet another problem thank goodness the first one is fixed. the issue Im having now is that it smells like gas in the cabin when I turn the heat on. Im leaning towards an exhaust leak but I cant hear one, so any more help is much appreciated.

High flow cat bolts are loose. Pull off your turbo heat shield and see if there is any soot on the underside.

Pulled the shield off and no soot bolts are tight maybe the other end is loose. I havent check that yet.

Do you have the DDM Fuel Filter installed?

IBDRINKEN · « **Reply #4 on:** December 13, 2010, 05:28:43 PM »

yes I do

Check to make sure the "B" nuts are tight going to the filter bowl. I had a loose one on mine and it leaked, gave the gas smell.

In the center of the addon is a larger diameter tube, there are nuts about line/tube nuts that connect the fuel line to it. About 11/16 wrench or some where close to that.

HA HA HA!!! That is classic... Sorry, but I needed a little humor today. Hope this smell clarifies itself soon.

When my car was new, the gas fumes were so bad it burned my eyes.

There was no exhaust leak.
No fuel spilling anywhere.
My tailpipe was rediculously sooty.

Seemed to clear up on it's own.

I also had a problem with the DDM Works Fuel Filter with gas leaking from one of the connectors...
I just pushed in at one end a little harder (Plastic connector side of the line) and seemed to stop, but I keep my eyes and nose on it from time to time...

The lines are B nut fittings and can handle quite a bit of torque. Grab both ends of the filter can and tighten at the same time. Don't be scared

FYI if you try this remember to turn the wrenches in opposite directions.

lmao, I tighted the hell out of them and so far no more leaking.., waiting for the gas smell to go away so I can see if it still smells inside.
