Default Fuel Smell from CRX when I get out after a drive.

I let my brother borrow my CRX for a week while his car was in the shop becuase he needed to get to work. I have lent him other cars in the past with no problems so I dont think that he is the reason that this is happening to my CRX.

For some reason when I drive my CRX and then when I stop I smell gas. There is no dripping, I cant see anything under the hood. Im pretty preplexed. The only thing that I can think of is that about 3 weeks ago I had my Fuel Injectors replaced. But the funny thing is that I had the FIs the 02 Sensor and Dist replaced all within a month and I am throwing codes for the 02 and FIs again. I reset my ECU and it startst to throw the codes within a day or so.

Anyone know what is going on?

you might be running rich. after driving look under the car to see if the cat is glowing red. did you replace the o rings when you did the injectors? i would suspect running rich and that's what is throwing the o2 code. you should'nt see puddles of gas unless it's just pouring out. gas evaporates very quickly. turn the key on and go look at the injectors and see if it's leaking there. make sure the timing is dead on.

hows your tank?

The tank is 2 pieces and most canadian rex tanks will rust at the seam and you will get gas fumes in the car.
