Default Gasoline odors

Hey all,

I need some help tracking down a heavy gasoline odor that is intermittent coming from the front
of the car. Pretty much new gaskets all around ( intake, valve covers, TB). Injector rails
were recently pulled and I replaced one inj that was leaking. No black smoke or hard starting/
performance issues. Charcoal can is new, vacuum hoses, valves working order.This only happens when car is at operating temperature. EGR is new and car has had full tune-up
recently. Ideas? Thanks!!

I would check for a small leak at the intake and return fuel lines where they connect to the fuel rail. The small orings could be leaking.

Make sure all connections to the throttle body from the cannister are intact.

Let us know.
