Problem: Gas Smell from front of engine by injectors.
Background:
I am getting a gas smell from the front side of the engine....right under the UIM. I am guessing it could be an injector or something? The smell happens at idle, and also when the car is off. I also still have a boost leak (9 PSI boost).
I have been going through and updating gaskets all over the place.....and I think I am going to update all the gaskets that deal with the fuel injectors. Here is a list of the gaskets I am replacing...let me know if I should update anymore that aren't on the list.
Things being updated
Fuel injector o-ring kit
http://atkinsrotary.com/store/catalo...t-p-16923.html
Pulsation Damper
http://atkinsrotary.com/store/catalo...r-p-17534.html
How about the primary/secondary injector diffusers and the gaskets associated with them? Any other gaskets?
I do have the non-seq stock turbo system.
Thanks!

Also, the non-teflon stainless steel fuel lines are known to let gas vapors ooze out the lines itself. A lot of v8 guys with these lines complain about fuel smell in their garages, as well as very short life span on these lines less then 5 years.
Sounds like your running stock rubber lines so doubt this would be your issue. Good luck.

The OP did.
About the only thing not mentioned is the injector grommets.

Just circling back to let you know what the problem is/was.
The problem was from a loose connection between a soft line and the fuel pulsation damper. I replaced the squeeze clamp used with a new one and added a worm clamp as well.
