My car smells like a gas refinery and I cant take it anymore.....

here is what I have going on in terms of fuel system..



Aeromotive 340 with hotwire kit in brand new Delphi module.
Billet fuel rails
OEM LS1 injectors
return-style setup using the factory evap line as my return line
Magnafuel 9925 AFPR
-8 feed and -6 return
the line coming off the tank that would normally get hooked to the EVAP hard line is vented to atmosphere with a small filter clamped to the end of the hose coming off the fuel pump module

the solenoid that was once sitting next to the intake is off and the fitting on the intake has been capped off..

there are absolutely no leaks whatsoever and I spent about 15 minutes looking over every inch while it was idling.

the braided hoses are PTFE and dont emit any odors..

I am baffled by this....


the car is NOT tuned (all I have is a Diablosport Predator handheld)

both my front O2 sensors are reading bad ( but they have been long before the fuel upgrades and no smell before)

Did you drop the tank or cut a hole in the hatch area?

I dropped the tank..

the smell comes from the front of the car

One thing to try is to leave the key on with the engine not running. Any leaks will show then. If you are running the engine while looking for leaks, if there is a very slow leak, it would evaporate before puddling anywhere, causing a huge stink but no fluid "evidence".
If you have done this, please disregard the above. Just adding a possibility.

No O2's, stripped of emissions equipt, dumped exh, and you wonder why it stinks?
