Question Wreaks of Gasoline

My 7 only smells of gasoline when I park it in the garage for the night... It smells like exhaust when I drive it or it is just running... I dont see any visible drips of gasoline under the car and all of the lines from the filter to the return under the hood are all SS... I replaced all fuel components under the hood with after market except the charcoal canister...

Why would it still smell so bad, but only when it is parked?

Maybe a line going to your charcoal canister is broken. Give that a look over.

I threw mine in the garbage.

Even th elines to the canister have been replaced... The charcoal cansiter itself is the only thing under the hood fuel related that has not been replaced... I figure I will just have to climb under it and replace any remaining fuel lines...

Sorry if this doesn't help your problem, but the word is "reeks." To wreak is to inflict, typically, destruction or punishment, while to reek is to give off or emit, typically, an unpleasant smell.

Stop driving it until you figure it out. Is this an S4? S5? If its an S4, I'd say its your PD... S5, might still be, but less likely.

Bad PD = RX-7 on fire.
