Wish I had something more interesting to report. Found the source of the smell this morning...little seep in the flare connection inlet side of fuel pump. Not enough to produce a drip on the floor.
Then I made it worse trying to make it better. Think I’m about done with this new fangled copper nickel line. They put some sort of black fitting on them and I’ve had a devil of a time getting them to seal. This is not the first issue I’ve had.
I find with flare fittings it's best to tighten, then back it off and slam it tight again...doing this 3 or 4 times usually takes care of it as each time it's done the nut tightens up a little more as it stretches everything together making a good seal...just "strong arming" it doesn't work for me.
