Gas Smell

[hulk311]

I was driving today and noticed a toxic smell/gas smell. When I got home I smelled the car and it's not coming from the back (exhaust), it's coming from the front of the engine. I opened up the hood and it does smell like gas fumes in there but the smell went away soon after the hood was open and engine was off. Anyone know what it could be? Or if it's a lot of things what are the major causes of it? Truck runs fine, no stalling/shaking, etc.

possible "o" ring on injector?

or emmissions...

DON'T use an open flame to find the leak !!!!!

Find the problem? I had this yesterday. I'm keeping an eye on it, but really don't want another costly repair.

i had a similar post and someone diagnosed it as being the fuel pressure regulator?

I have no idea it he was right at all but i found one on eBay for a decent price. who knows?! maybe it is the fuel pressure regulator. mine is the original and, at this point, i'll give it a whirl.

I have the same problem and its getting stronger

that's becuase it's getting colder outside.
