Hi, Lon

I drove today a distance of about 3 km.
The right site (when I stand in front of the car) of the engine is a little bit warm, the left side is even colder and I smell gasoline also in the car.
I shall check the connections around the fuel filters to see if they are all right.

Thank you very much for responding!

Rudy



Sounds like two or more problems. I solved the gasoline smell and a gas tank pressure problem by changing the gas tank vent located inside the right rear wheel well liner and tightening the gas hose connections, especially around the fuel filters. The cold engine may be caused by a bad water pump.
