    Raw fuel smell from e30 when garages

    As of late, I've replaced my o-rings on injectors, have a rrfpr, replaced fuel filter and fuel pump.

    Whenever I fill up the tank with gas, and store the car overnight in the garage it absolutely reeks of gasoline.

    No visible leaks or patches/puddles anywhere.

    What gives?

    ** edit titles should read garaged, not garages.

    Pull the rear seat pan, remove the tank cover(s), and check for leakage around the pump/sensor flanges and hoses with the tank full.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

        Sometimes that top oring just gets pinched and causes it to leak.

          Check your fuel lines and replace them if you have not done so. Also, check the connection between the fuel line and FPR.
