Re: What year and model is the car? It sounds like - The 7 Series (E38) Message Board

Hi,

it's know confirmed that it's one of the four pipes that come from the expansion tank located in the rear left wheel well. And it's the thickest one of the four. It's probably the vent valve that allows air to enter the tanks to equlize the pressure?

Anyhow that is the pipe that is leaking strong gas fumes constantly when the engine is on. It doesn't have the charcoal canister attached to it... I don't know what to do at this point even after spending much time on the forums...

Can it have something to do with the expansion tank not doing its job?
