Question I smell fuel when I hit boost, bad gas mileage

In my TII when I hit boost I can catch a quick whiff of gas in the interior, plus my gas mileage has been going down significantly. last week I tuned my CAS and my TPS and my car was getting decent gas mileage, but now I smell gas and the gas mileage is down hella, there are no signs of leaking on the ground and when I get out of the vehicle and smell in the engine bay there is no sign of or smell of gasoline.

*could my injectors orings be leaking and evaporating on the block, intake manifold, etc???

I think this friday I will take off my UIM and look at my orings

*does anyone know where to get new injector orings locally?(schucks, napa, etc)
Thanks

do they have all the orings for the injectors or just the basic looking top ones. cause the bottom oring is kind of in the shape of an I that wraps around the injector, do they have those ones too?

Actually it could very likely be this.. if not then most likely the o-rings on your injectors..


Common case of engine fires.
