Why do i Smell gas outside car not inside?

Take a second, lightly sniff gasoline fumes before its been burned, then compare with exhaust fumes, and see which you are smelling. Exhaust fumes you'll naturally smell around an idling car. unburned gasoline could be the result of an improperly set carb, mixing the wrong amounts of fuel and air, leaving you with unburned gasoline that is boiled, evaporated, and spit out the exhaust. Too much evaporated gas turns your exhaust black, so ive been told, so there could be a sign.


What if there is unburned gasoline in your engine?

The unburned gasoline accumulated in the crankcase is recirculated by the PCV valve to the intake air and burned again. The unburned gasoline in the exhaust reacts inside the catalytic converter, making carbon dioxide and water.


Can you install and outsidelectric full pump and eliminate the one inside the gas tank?

never seen a pump INSIDE a gas tank.it can't be electricaltherefore a mechanical pump is pretty much a problem putting it INSIDE.Therefore, an OUTSIDE pump (mechanical or electrical) is pretty much the only option.There is fuelpumps inside gas tank's.The reason the fuel pump is inside is pretty much to prevent fires or explosions.If you ever felt gasoline you can tell is cold therefore when you put the fuel pump submerged in gasoline the fuelpump does not overheat because the gasoline itself keeps it cool.If you install an outside fuelpump you run the risk of your engine stalling because the gasoline can evaporate in the lines same thing would happen if the fuel pump was to be close to the engine this is true on mechanical pumps used by carburated automobile engines.
