Keep smelling gas in my car

if its running rich then its gonna smell gassy idk im just going off this morning, i did have a gas leak under the car for awhile but that was a lose hose
 


Experience is your friend. If it smells like standard gasoline if you sniffed a gas can, then that's typically a gas leak. If it smells like funky exhaust when it's spewing out black..that's running rich smell.
 
alright lets say its gas, why would it only smell when i first start the car up after letting it sit for like 8-12 hours?
 


Because say it's a pinhole in the fuel line and it pisses all over the engine until the pressure is gone. meanwhile when your driving there's enough ariflow to keep you from smelling it.

Just talking from experience...if you think you smell fuel...you should be checking for an issue. That fuel stuff burns way to good and too easily not to look for it. Think...about the car blowing up, then think how easy it is to lift the hood and look.
 
I remember when Intrigue98 got his gp... he cruised over to show me and said.. "I smell some gas at startup". We popped the hood to see it pissing a stream on to the engine. Aka ..the sparky thing.
