Did you replace the o-rings when you changed the injectors? Look for fuel around them after running the engine.

This is most likely your problem. Were the o-rings lubed when you replaced them? If not one of them might have lost its 'seating'. Run the engine and look for gas overflow towards the top of the injectors, resulting from a bad seal at the o-ring.

Already did. Smell is coming from the rear. I'm guessing its one of my fuel lines. Or something around there.

No leaks at the filter right?

No Taco Bell?

No in all seriousness from the rear it could be a bad filler pipe or gas cap. I'd still check your injectors for crud building up on them....while you may not see them leaking, they could only leak periodically and stop once the car warms up and the seals expand...

Wait you mean the rear of the car? I was thinking rear of the engine bay

hgeez:, From the rear of the cabin it may be a leaking line, rust in the neck/filler pipe, even a bad gas cap. Any fuel leaking onto the ground?

clogged cat?

if so now would be a good time to buy my full exhaust hint hint

Umm.. You guys are all missing the most obvious (and might I add, easiest to check) cause for a fuel smell in the cabin.

Is your gas cap on all the way?

If it's in the cabin, how would the gap cap be the issue?

The top of the tank is under/behind your rear seat. Takes about 15 minutes to have the seat out. I'd poke around there.

fuel pump :dunno:

Believe he's correct.

Remove the rear driver side wheel, the black plastic cover and check out those fuel lines!
