I get a fairly strong fuel smell after running the car and having it sit for a little bit. Started noticing it about 2 months ago. I drive the car maybe once a week, it is a 93 with 133k miles on it. Basically after I drive it and park in my garage I come back and there is a fairly strong smell of fuel. I don't see any fuel on the ground, or anywhere. I've smelled around the intake manifold and don't smell anything there, so I don't think it is the FPD, or injectors (injectors were cleaned and reinstalled with new isolators/orings when I had the engine replaced ~20k miles ago), but not sure. I would think if it was fuel lines that I would notice it more under pressure.... I had it at JPR Imports and Jim could not find the issue. I replaced the fuel cap just incase it was that. So, I'm thinking that it might be the charcoal canister, or maybe the fuel filter that could be leading to the smell. Anyone other ideas, or other people who have had a similar issue and fixed it?

Thanks

I wouldn't drive it if you smell gas. What makes you think it's not the FPD? Are your fuel lines original? As a precaution, I replaced all my fuel hose to include the FPD. Only thing I didn't was the banjo line from the primary rail to the secondary rail. I should have but didn't. My fingers are crossed on that one.

I would prime the system and check for leaks.
