while driving, as the car comes onto boost, as i open the throttle a bit more i can here what sounds like a boost hose leaking , Tttssshhhh, but im not loosing any pressure , and as i ease of i get a strong smell of fuel!!
any ideas of any common places/ faults to start lookin at? prob the fuel pressure reg??
any help would be great, il have a propper look in the mornin.
cheers

The Pulsation Damper on the End of the Fuel rail would be my First place to look.
If you have had a rebuild or work done in that area it does\'nt take much to start it leaking.
just been doin a bit of researchin/thinkin, and remembered that i had to change the brake servo hose that goes to the inlet manifold, didnt realise it had a 1 way check valve inside it and replaced it with a normal bit of hose!!!wasnt realy thinkin at the time, was worryin if the engine wud start after rebuild!lol
a couple of people have said in the past on here that this would course a fuel smell inside the car, and i guess the Tttshhh sound could be the air being forced into the servo!
i have the UIM off at the moe and can see no leaks???
Have you driven it yet? If the one way valve is missing/wrong way round it will be an Experiance if you get it on Boost then try to brake :yes
I did that once and your right about it possably causing the Fuel smell (mine did) but the biggest thing is the Power assist don\'t work when you are giving it a bit then try to Brake (its a great feeling when you think your Brakes don\'t work)
well i did think the brakes didnt seem that great last nite!!!! good job im runninig it in or it could of been a bit dangerous!!!!
did u get a Ttsshhhhh sound though when it came on boost?? i spose it is possible as its tryin to force air into the servo?
TBH i can\'t say i did?
The only thing i can say is put it back in and try it. I know putting Boost into a Servo does\'nt do it any good.
the upper inlet manifold gasket was leaking, so put this back on with RTV silicone and put the original servo to manifold hose back on and its fine now!!
