Recently my Lexi had been smelling like gas when I drive it. So I checked the hood and there's gasoline coming out of this thing on top of the engine. Don't know what to do I'm not really good with cars yet. Please help. How do I post a pic.

Well didn't see it before but ther is a screw on top of it. After screwing it in tighter it seemed to work but does somebody know what that part is called would like to search some info on it.

Go to Tinypic and upload an image, then post the one with [IMG] around it. Do not drive the car unless you are 100% you've fixed the issue.

Yea sorrg about the late reply ive been soo busy. . Yea its the black thing there in the pic and I have a 400. After tightening the screw it stop leaking but would like to know what that part is and how to prevent it again. Also is the engine ok with the gasoline that leaked on it. Thanks you guys.

the gas will evaporate in time, wipe down the excess if there is any.
what you don't want is there to be a small leak and start driving, once the motor gets hot it can catch on fire if there is still a leak.
that looks like the fuel pressure regulator, I don't recall a screw on them but I don't have a 400 to check, not sure what you tightened just make sure its not leaking anymore before you try and do anything else. did you tighten the bolts where it connects maybe?

Yea there was a little screw on top of the little black thing after I tighten a little bit the fuel stoped leaking out. I'm guessinng that the screw just came loose after all the years. My Lexi is about to hit 300 k in a little bit so I guess that's was the reason why. Hope it doenst happen again. Thanks again to all of your suppour my Sc brotherss.
