Posted December 18, 200222 yr comment_21136 I have an 81 280ZX. Two days I got in the car after letting it warm up for about 5 to 10 minutes. I noticed the smell of gasoline. Now everytime I come to a stop after driving, I smell fuel.I have started the car up and checked under the hood for any obvious leaks but, don't see any. I looked at all the injectors, fuel rail, fuel line etc:Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated.BTW. After warming up, the car runs fine.

December 18, 200222 yr comment_21145 First off, since i don't know much (if any) about the later ZX's like yours, I don't know if they still have the vent tank in the quarter panels like the earlier models. If not, then one place I would look is your fuel filler hose. You might have a gas cap that is not venting correctly and is causing the tank to pressurize and it could be that is causing a small leak to develop in the filler hose. I would check around the tank carefully, if they do have the vent lines like the earlier models then that would be the first place to look.
