I've been having trouble with fuel delivery, but today it went to an entirely new level. First, as a background, i've been losing fuel pressure and I've reverted to priming the pump twice before it starts. It'll start up, stuble for two seconds, and then run fine.
I drove it to work this morning, no problems, however after work I left for home, and smelled a strong odor of gas. I pulled over right away and opened the hood. There was a puddle of gas sitting under the fuel rail on top of the intake manifold. I'm very lucky it didn't start on fire!
I evaluated the problem, and I have a fuel leak coming from the small nodule in the middle of the fuel rail. First, does anyone know what this is? I've done some looking around, could it be the fuel pressure damper?? I've searched around some, but I'm not sure and I could really use some help on this.
Thanks in advance!
