my buddy ****ed around when he had a fuel leak on his LS/V integra. the car caught fire 100 yards from his house, on his way home from me telling him to go fix his car.

That happen to me when I was driving my old DB2.

The gas was going through my ac vents.

Check your injectors O-rings and replace them.
