Fuel smell from driver's side when parked or idling?
My Car:
new reman 1500 miles old
new FPD
fuel filter 8k old
this only happens at idle and the smell stays there overnight. It is strongest from the front, driver's side. I've read somewhere that this is normal after 1-2 old change on a reman??? Is it my charcoal canister, or primary injectors? Or something else?
Guys...any ideas?

I hate rx7's for that... My car's also got a fuel odor an i'm changing most of the 0-rings... All from the fuel injectors. It was a nightmare to get to them though...
That's a big issue on 7 with turbos...
those fuel lines that RATED R1 is talking about is like 40bukcs each from the dealer... but i would check them if i were you...since it is the easiest thing to get to...
Unless you're leaking by the fuel filter that you recently replaced, maybe you didn't tighten the clamps good enough.
