How many letters can vanity plates have? You could have "goexpygo"...
7 digits in Utah.

Expo doesn't know too many letters.
We have developed a fuel smell from expy. It started out irregular, then became constant, and now is a string has odor. I have identified that the Schrader valve on the fuel rail is leaking fuel. Can that just be replaced like a tire valve??

We could just weld it shut, that's an easy fix

JB Weld is easier.

Dead if you take Dereks advice. Derek lives on the edge, he would want to do it in the Expy still attached and with fuel in it.

Clearly JBWeld is the smart choice here.

Can a cap be bought to screw on the valve? Maybe something a little better than a metal valve stem cap that you would use on your tires. Then you could use the port for troubleshooting purposes later on in life.

This is a good idea. There are metal valve caps with o-rings that can hold 40 psi

A cap or plug sounds like a band-aid to me to mask the symptoms, rather than fixing the problem.

This. If the schrader can't be replaced, then it's time for a new fuel rail. All kidding aside, leaking fuel is not the sort of problem to redneck.
I took a couple minutes on Saturday and played with the Schrader valve. I twisted it tight, I'd didn't really move any, but is for sure more snug than before. I also pushed the valve down a couple times. I turned the key to build up pressure and pushed the valve a couple more times spraying fuel out. I dried it all up, and started the expy. No leak! We've gone 5 days now without a single smell. I have not visually checked it yet. My wife says the fuel gauge is moving much slower, but we will have to see at fill up if it really made a difference.
No welding involved yet

I moved my mother down to ticaboo this weekend. I made it about 10 miles back towards home, and I blew a plug put of my head. major suck. Had a buddy drive down and tow me home.
Has anyone done an insert repair on these? I have looked it up and have a good ideas of what it will take... But am not really looking forward to it.
I need a truck before Tuesday, so I may just end up buying something else..
