Fuel Smell After Startup & Faulty FPR? (Round 2) 700 1990

Easy to replace, there are two things to consider.

The FPR is the small aluminum can like object at the front end of the fuel rail. A thin rubber tubing comes out at the front and goes to intake manifold. Normally the tube is held in place with a special clamp.

1. Have a small hose clamp available when replacing, so you can use that if the spceialty clamp is torn/overtensioned when removing/refitting.

2. You might need a little bit of grease on the O-ring when pushing in the new FPR into the fuel rail connection.

This is one of the most worrisome symptoms (intermittent cutoffs) I have had in my car (940) and the easiest repair, once diagnosed, I have done. (Replacing windshield wipers can be more difficult and more injuring to fingers, to take one example) Do this yourself!

Good Luck!
