Gas Smell?
Hello, is it normal to smell a gas sent coming from the front engine bay every time after you are done driving the car? Thank you.

You may have leaky injectors, might wanna get it checked out quick. Could cause an engine fire.

Get that taken care of before your new car burns down.

Fpd
The fuel pulsation dampner has been known to fail. I replaced mine when I did the vacuum hose job. It is near the firewall on the primary fuel rail. Fix it quickly and do not drive that way you may have an engine fire and lose the whole car.
