    I had engine rebuilt . And I smell raw gas inside and outside when I got it back. Especially in the front drivers side of engine. I wonder if they hooked up evap lines correctly?

    not sure about '05+ but on 96-04 the fuel line ran on the driver's side inside the frame rail. could be they didn't properly fit the fuel line in engine bay? or it came loose? hole in the line?

    anything is bad when fuel is involved, don't drive and get it fixed quick, don't want a fire.

    Lots baby!
    I ran into a situation where an o-ring on an injector was bad. It was barely leaking, but had a strong order.

    You may have a crack or pin hole in a fuel line. That would only leak while the fuel pump is running since the system would have to be under pressure to make the fuel leak.

    I found the leak. It was at the quick connect fuel line.

    Good you found it. Those quick connects are a pain in the ass sometimes.
