I seem to recall that fuel smell issues were raised previously on the old forum and could be attributed to braided fuel lines where the aroma of fuel tends to emminate (sp) out of the hose.
That can't be, unless the hose is leaking. A braided hose is a normal rubber hose underneath (or other material depending on what the hose carries) with a SS braided overlay and a permanent fitting on the end of the hose that mates up with the AN adapters. If the braided hose is releasing fuel vapor, then it is leaking due to a hole in the hose, or a improper connection at the AN adapter, or the AN fitting is not tight.
