Fuel Smell when parked?
 
Car is a daily driver -- we did have the fuel pump changed a few months ago and it seems that this issue came after that.

When the car is parked in the garage, you can smell a fuel smell whenever you go into the garage.

Car is getting 21 mpg on the highway, but local driving is much much less.

Thinking it's a leaky injector, but I've read about the charcoal canister and don't know how to check that.

I did check for gas odors in the rear deck over the fuel pump and there aren't any.

Fuel odors appear to come from under the hood area.

As always, thanks for any insight.

Look underneath the plenum for pooled up fuel.

I had a leaky fuel pulsation dampener. Maybe check that too?

A few others on here have had good luck with replacing the injector grommets that go into the center iron.

Apparently when they get old, fuel vapors escape past them.
