After I've driven my TA and shut it off, a few minutes later I have a relatively strong smell of gas inside the car. I haven't had time to hunt down the problem yet, but I was hoping for some ideas as to what it could be.

 

Evap canister took a poop maybe?

 

Check the regulator.

 

To see if it's not holding pressure ?

 

I had a gas smell also, then my header broke so I just assumed it was cracked the whole time. Its possible your manifolds/headers are cracked or leaking.

 

i just have gas sitting in my intake/TB and i dont know where it is coming from... checked the regulator and it is fine..

 

Might be an exhaust leak.

 

I know it's not an exhaust leak, I just put new gaskets in the manifolds the other day when I did my head swap.

 

By any chance is your engine running really rich?

 

Do you have a cutout? When I installed mine I had a really really strong smell like the car was running super super rich. Only really got a wiff after I shut the car down though. Only happened for a short time. Just an idea.

 

No fuel leaks that I can find. Everything under the hood is dry. I'd have noticed it when I swapped the heads, the intake wasn't even really dirty. I don't have a cut-out either. It's really noticable when it's hot out and I have the windows all the way up. Where is the EVAP canister ? Isn't there something up in one of the wheel wells ?

 

Do you have the backseats still in your car (serious question).

 

Yes, the back seats are still in, why ?

 

Cause when some people take out the back seats they don't patch up the holes in the bottom. That can cause a gas smell in the car.

 

Driver's rear wheelwell. I'd bet that's your problem.
