1991 240 spraying gas leak underneath

Post by hankeester »

My 91' 240 isn't a daily driver. I've been smelling gas for the last couple of weeks so decided to pull it in the garage. When I did I noticed a gas trail, so I looked underneath and the thing was literally spraying gas out from right around the rear passenger seat location and it was hosing down the muffler. Is there anything common in the 240's that would break? Trying to figure out if it's a common or maybe something deflected underneath it while driving and put a hole in something.

Problem solved. It's pouring out of the fuel pump or filter that is located below the rear of the drivers seat. Looks like the pump came loose of the carriage it sits in. Probably got jarred around and loosened a hose somewhere.
