Ok this is the thing I have read many post about people with 89 Maximas who have the same problems as me they can smell gas very strongly mostly in the winter, and I have read the way to fix this problem by tighting the metal clamp around the fuel line. Now this is where the problem comes in I have no auto repair skills what so ever ,and I dont even know where the fuel line is all of them look the same to me does anyone know of a site that has a labeled diagram of the engine so that I can learn which parts are which and hopefully figure out which one is the fuel line so that I can tighten the clamp.I have ordered the Chilton and Haynes manuals for my car so that I can learn how to do repairs myself and they wont be here for a week or so and I dont know if I can take this smell that much longer

Thanks in advance I know someone will have the answer.

 

Please either buy a Chiltons or Nissan repair manual or have it serviced at a trusted mechanic asap. Engine fires aren't the highlight of anyone's day.

 

fuel problems are dangerous to diagnose. and messing around witht he fuel system without a clear diagram in front of you and with no knowledge isn't pretty wise...if I were you I'd wait a week for your Chiltons. just my $.02.

 

I did order a chilton and haynes manual but they havent come yet.

 

we are saying you should wait till it comes before attempting anything.

 

Ok maybe I will just wait the week.
