When mine started smelling like gas, I checked the fuel rail, seemed to be leaking onto the intake. Notice any spuddering in low RPM, or hard starting?

my shift is from 3-11:30pm, i just moved my car at around 7:00pm about 200yards... so i doubt it has a gutted cat, it doesnt sound like it has a gutted cat either, i guess i will check the fuel rail.. and this is my second day driving stick, but i think i may have had some spuddering at low rpms, i didnt htink twice about it, but no hard starts occured, it fires every time. thank you and hopefully that is the problem.

Could also be the EVAP system. This system vents the gas vapors from the gas tank into the intake manifold. There are many components to the system, including a charcoal canister that is housed next to the driver-side back speaker, where the rear passengers sit. Take a look at these links:

Re: Just got my car, problem?
thanks for the replies... tonite no gas smell, and after i smelled it yesterday i check the gas cap to see if the dealership locked it in place b/c they filled up the tank, i made sure it locked... hopefully i dont smell it again, but if i do i will check the fuel rail nd the evap system... thanks again, and if anyone has any other ideas please share...
