^ that's my guess too. My car (2005 roadster) stinks of gas when the windows are down. I have a CJ motorsports fuel return and a 255 walboro. Checked everywhere for leaks of any sort and couldn't find any. I'm used to it by now lol I'm one of those ppl that like the smell of gas I guess

Only when I got one window down for some reason. When I got both down (or the top) I can't smell it.

So fuel return will not change anything?
In my case smell more on boost when pressure is high and when windows are open
Can it be related with cracked manifold?

you could easily see a cracked manifold, black soot around crack.

you AFR and boost would be off with a cracked manifold as well.

AS others have said, what is your full exhaust and PCV setup? How about your AFR's?

haltech platinum pro harness with haltech duble wideband and haltech boostcontroler

Yesterday I stopped on the street close to the building with working engine I was waiting for my friend and suddenly guy from first floor of this building asked me to switch of the engine because in his apartment smell gaz. It must be something wrong with my setup it is not normal
