I just purchased a 1995 with a manual transmission and 4 wheel drive. I got it home from the dealer and parked it in my garage. The next morning the garage smelled like gas (kinda sour smelling). There were no drips on the floor or moisture on the underside or frame rails. It is NOT hard starting or dielseling, NOT running poorly or consuming too much gas. The smell inside the cab is faint. The smell is worst after parking the vehicle overnight. Thoughts? I'd like to avoid the fuel injectors if possible and since it is starting and running fine this seems least likely. 92,700 miles, maintained, excellent mechanical and physical condition. Help!
Have read the posts, need more help! 95 raw fuel smell

Where the odor is coming from
Last night, after driving for about an hour, I arrived home and walked around the truck to check for the smell. It seems strongest around the front end, on the drivers side toward the front of the engine compartment. However, the smell does not come through the vents very strongly, it seems to exit under the truck. My garage smells like sour (skunk) gas, still, two days after I first noticed the stench. I've seen the post on the fuel rail, this is term I'm not real familiar with... could you give me a bit of an explanation?
Thank You!
