Lately when I stop with the engine running there's a faint smell of gasoline coming through the HVAC ducts.......under way there is not!!:confused:

I've looked everywhere in the engine compartment and see no evidence of a fuel leak so where should I begin removing stuff to try and find a small, almost invisible leak??:cool:

What kind of fuel lines do you have?

OEM I guess since we didn't change any when we built the new motor!!:shake:

Make sure all the connections are tight. Could be a leak so small it evaporates quickly.

Maybe at the fuel filter fittings?

I am gonna look at the filter tomorrow but would it cause an odor up front if it's weeping??:confused:

I have had several "fleet" cars that started leaking fuel at the gas tank seam. Worth a look.

I forget. Is there a vacuum hose on the fuel pressure transducer?

Maybe pull the vacuum hose off that thingamajig on the fuel rail

Fuel in it?
