I have that fuel smell as well. But i know it's the secondary injetors arnt seating right you can see the fuel puddle up. I'll fix it whenever i get around to my new fuel system this winter. It never caused any real problems for me other than my whole car allways smells like gas.

That's what i thought too. But nothing ever happened. My car is down for all of winter right now. So it will be fixed before it ever gets started again. You coudl only see fuel after a long running time like 2+ hours. But your right it cant be good.



One thing i was wondering shoudl i add fuel stabalizer to the tank? because it going to sit for a few months.

I highly second this comment!!!! You should not drive the car until you can fix the problem. It is just a matter of time before the car will catch on fire if you keep driving it in that condition.



Don't take a chance its not worth it.
