Fuel Rail Leak

I have a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Touring 4.0L V6 and noticed a gas smell coming from my engine. I have changed the O-rings and fuel injectors but was still smelling gas until I noticed a small air bubble coming from the fuel rail where it connects to the fuel line. I have gone to my local junk yards to look for one but none have my make/model but I have found some online but are for 3.5L and 3.8L. I just wanted to know if those fuel rails are interchangeable with my 4.0L engine before I buy them.

SOURCE: DOES MY 2001 CHRYSLER VOYAGER 3.3L V6 FLEX FUEL

Hi Wesrn,
Most indirect injection engines have a fuel rail which is common to all injectors. The common rail description is usually reserved for diesel engine vehicles. Your problem will in fact be a matter of having the rubber 'O' ring seals replaced at both ends of the injectors (where they fit into the fuel rail and where they fit into the manifold. You've rarely any need to replace the whole fuel rail.

I am looking to replace a leaking fuel injector rail for 1993 fifth ave chrysler new yorker p/n 4554109

The rail is most likely not the problem, the fuel injector "O" ring seals are likely the problem in the rail.

I have a 2006 PT Cruiser, Touring non-turbo model, which does not have a schrader valve or a fuel pump fuse or relay. How do I depressurize the fuel line to remove the injector rail?

If you don't know the source of the gasoline smell, why would you go to the trouble of replacing the O rings? It would be better to identify the source before jumping into a repair like that only to find out after all that work, it still smells like fuel . you can loosen the fuel line fitting slightly to release pressure. I'd do that on a completely cold engine.

I have a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica 4.0 4WD.running rough sometimes it won't start .It smells like gas. I changed battery the spark plug, ignition coils, and fuel injec.,air filter.What is the problem?

Could be a bad coolant temp sensor, making the ECU think the engine is a different temp than it is. However, smelling fuel makes me think you might have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Instead of just bolting on parts, use a fuel pressure gauge to test the system, and look for leaks too. Also insure you have spark to the plugs, but BE CAREFUL! If you have fuel fumes present and create a spark things could go BOOM!

98 buick regal has a strong gas smell

Do you know what fuel pressure regulator is ? These like to leak when they get older !
The cartridge type fuel pressure regulator (1) is a diaphragm-operated relief valve (6) with fuel pump pressure on one side, and regulator spring (2) pressure, and intake manifold vacuum on the other side. The regulators function is to maintain a constant fuel pressure across the injectors at all times. The pressure regulator compensates for engine load by increasing fuel pressure as engine vacuum drops.
The cartridge regulator is serviced as a separate component. When servicing the fuel pressure regulator, insure that the O-ring backup, (3) large O-ring, (4) filter screen, (5) and small O-ring (7) are properly placed on the pressure regulator.
It's located on the fuel injector fuel rail !

Smell gas inside

On my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica I noticed a gas smell inside the cabin. I could also smell the gas very strong inside the engine bay when the car was running. It turned out to be a plastic line that connects between the fuel line from the tank, and the fuel rail which was leaking fuel. This line was located on the right side of the engine bay under the air cleaner. This was right next to the HVAC system, which was why I was smelling it in the cab of the car so much.

Are you sure its not just comming from one of the injector seals as these do perish with time as they are just rubber seals and dont cost much

Pacifica has a gas smell inside car

On a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, I found a plastic line connecting the fuel line coming from the tank to the fuel rail. This line was leaking . Because it was located very close to the HVAC system, that explained the gas smell inside the car.

Take it back and he will fix it, maybe a o-ring where the fuel line connects to the fuel rail or if he removed the injectors, then a o-ring maybe pinched, loose fuel line fitting. something minor, but dangerous, can catch fire real easy, I would have it towed to be safe.
