Re: semi built b16a2 smells gasoline
If you smell gas in the exhaust, the engine is running rich. Smelling gas under the hood strongly suggests a gas leak. Check the injector O-rings and all gas line connections at the fuel filter and rail.

Follow your nose!!! lol, common places to leak are at the fuel rail where the line comes in because i had one there, as well as the banjo on top of the fuel filter. Seriously though, follow your nose lol

Re: semi built b16a2 smells gasoline
If the car is running rich, it will smell of unburnt gas which, in my opinion, has a distinctly different smell than fresh gasoline. You should be able to easily tell the difference...

Re: semi built b16a2 smells gasoline
310cc injectors aren't huge by any standard, but even if you were running something large like a set of 1000cc injectors (as i am), you shouldnt smell gas. I had a similar issue and found that i had a slight leak at one of the injector O-rings. It may be hard to locate, but if you let the car idle and watch carefully, you will hopefully find your issue.
thank for the thread..

^^ I would have gone with something smaller, but E85 requires a rather large injector...about 30% larger than a typical gasoline setup

Re: Semi built b16a2 smells of gasoline under the hood
i went to church auto testing for a tuning. when everything breaks in it starts to smell like gasoline is leaking everywhere and it stinks...very bad i cant stand the smell of it. you got any ideas could it be the gas line to the intake manifold?

Um, there is no gas line to the intake manifold. Check your gas fittings and see.
