fuel smell during wot .. should i be worried?
while im driving during wot it smells like fuel .. but when i put it in neutral and rev it .. i dont smell fuel .. does this sound right?
before it only smelled like that when the second turbo kicks in and thought it would be fuel line on the secondary rail or the o ring on the second fuel injector

I really don't think you should be smelling any fuel whatsoever. maybe its a loose fuel line that leaks when it sees alot of pressure. i had the same problem and it was just that. goodluck finding it.

If Im not mistaken, you can also get a fuel smell at WOT from the brake vacuum boost line if it has been changed and the check valve in the line is not present. The OEM line has a check valve inside to stop boost pressure from going back up the line. Would also cause a whooshing sound under boost.

you should really get it checked out. i had a automatic fd and i smelled fuel and later that month it caught fire. so dont let it go get it checked out asap! usually the fuel lines get old and brittal so it good to replace them after at least 70k.

well i checked under my hood cant really smell the fuel that much but still can little bit and moist of almost dryed but still little kind of wet (kind of like if u spill the engine oil and leave it their and it looks almost dry but yet still wet, i hope u guys know what i am saying) so my question is what should i do? the injectors look fine. should i pull out the whole railing and replace the orings and the lines in the engine bay? but i shud also let u guys know that i got this takin care of last yr, cud this be from b4 and mechanic probly didnt clean it up?
