About Skip Bollinger
Expertise
Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip

Automotive - gas smell


Expert: Skip Bollinger - 1/14/2008

Question
I just bought a 92 plymouth acclaim, i started to smell gas the day after i bought it. I looked under the hood and seen it leaking where the fuel lines enter the throtle body. DO they make a tread sealant or gasket for the fuel lines? Or do i have to replace the whole thing? I appreciate any thoughts you might have thanks.

Answer
To Jeremy and all future inquiries,
  This a repair question and I am about done with them. I'm a PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH, OKAY???
  This one is pretty simple, however and doesn't take a lot of time.
  Jeremy, If you just purchased the vehicle, take it back where you purchased and make them fix it. IF they won't, there are some fuel rails that have "O" rings to seal them. You will just have to take it apart and see what is in there. IF I were a Tech, I'd probably know but, as said above, I'm not. If you purchased this vehicle from an individual, you are stuck. Just to be sure to do this repair when the vehicle is cold. When you open the fuel line, there may be residual pressure and spray gas all over the engine. Just do it slowly. Good luck and be careful. I hope this helps. I wasn't trying to be rude but most "repair" questions are out of my ball park..
