Default New fuel lines smell bad!

I just got my car running after the new fuel lines. I used the aeroquip aqp braided lines and now that I have this fuel vapor problem I see that teflon lined hose prevents this
Any way now that its too late to make this more liveable? Its been about an hour since I drove my car for the first time and i'm still light headed

Yep, very common. The fix is expensive since you just installed the lines. :-(
