Gas smell in cab

[Pedition2000]

I have a buddy that drives a '06 f-150 with 120k miles. It's running rough, has a gas/exhaust smell in the cab, and a small rattle. I told him I thought it was the catalytic converter. The dealer checked the coil packs and they were good, changed the fuel pump and filters and it didn't help at all. He said it threw codes and I'm waiting for him to respond so I can look up the codes. What do you all think?

BTW I posted this in the'06 forum and have got nothing.....that forum seems awful dead.

Thanks.

Fuel leak waiting for an ignition source?!

Injector stuck open ready to hydraulic motor?!

First two thoughts that come to mind...

Codes would help greatly to diagnose...

so why do people post the same question in different sections of this expedition forum or is it that they are seeking different responses or is it that they don't know that all post appear in the same forum plus this one isn't about expedition nor is it a 1st gen

now being you got one response in this post does that make it more alive than the other post which you posted less than 2 hours after you posted the other same question

Why be so impatience Its a Sunday and most likely people have been enjoying the day and not on the forum

And if your waiting for him to get back to you with the codes than WAIT as your just guessing at the moment

Its not the forum that dead its questions like this that people avoid

Ruptured diaphragm in fuel pressure regulator leaking fuel into the intake via vacuum line??

Wait till you get the codes and then you will be better equipped to ask a question

I notice this is your pet peeve bedrck.. lol.

 

[toms89]

Hmmmm..

Should I assume the dealer made sure no plugs have partially launched since they checked the coils??

 

[toms89]

Scratch last post. Plugs don't launch with the 3v motors. Thinking 2v because it was in 1st gen section.

bedrck..

You are the same ****** who commented on my other forum. Since your input to me is always less than helpful just keep your advice and opinions to my questions to yourself.

 

[Pedition2000]

I looked through the forums and saw nothing about this...I'm not a search expert either, am human, and some can just stay away from my posts since to date their input hasn't been helpful! To others thanks for chiming in.

Dealer checked them all and saw no issues. $1200 later the dealer wasn't sure and wanted to crack open the engine to diagnose some more, but he didn't have that kind of money.

Well if you were in Georgia or Alabama I'd say your gas smell is from Bubba not having the little yeller gas cap on the 5gal gas can and its spilled all over the floorboard or bed of the truck.....
You probably have more than one problem - I'd go after the fuel smell first.

(I know - people tell me I'm not right in the head)

$1200? What did the dealer do for that amount of change?

BTW - what is an ******? Never heard that one....

 

[bedrck46]

I know i am a a$$ and will admit it but what is your excuse and remember this

excuses only satisfy those that give them.

If you feel that you are free to post questions for your friend then i should be equally free to respond

my reply wasn't meant to be helpful it was meant to inform you that there is no need to post the same question in different locations as everyone on this forum can read all posts and it would also save you from having to jump from post to post to only make a comment that something appears dead in your opinion

and if your waiting for your friend to give you the codes you should have waited till you got them and then ask your question and have better information to provide for having the codes could possibly take the guesses out of the problem

Gas pump and filter, then diagnosis check for leaks related to the smell.

and as long as you continue to post like you do then I will continue to respond if you don't care for my opinions then I would suggest you don't respond to them

or is it that you don't like someone telling you the truth
if so I can understand that

 

[bedrck46]

would have been nice if you only asked this question once and also posted it in the F150 section

Oh also would have been nice if you would have waited till you had the codes that way you would have been able to provide much better and more intelligent information

It could be any of the ones you mentioned or even none of them The codes will help. And also being the pump filter and other items are new it could mean that someone didn't tighten something

I would guess an exhaust leak. Does his motor tick at all?

Look for broken manifold studs or broken studs that hold the cats to the manifold. That will cause a gas smell. I know from experience...
