Question for HSR users

Any of you notice a slight amount of gasoline coating on the lower manifold? There isn't any leakage or pressure loss, I just was wondering why I always smelled gas so strong and upon close inspection noticed a slight coating of gas around my HSR. I'm thinking this is normal though, hopefully some of you guys can chime in.

Where are you seeing the gas on the manifold? I noticed some around the FPR and one of the bolts was loose.

You should never have fuel in the engine bay, anywhere.....

You have a fuel leak, that can be very dangerous, find it and fix it.

Do you have the Holley AFPR that came with the rails? If so, that is more than likely your problem. They are known to have problems with holding pressure and would leak a small amount of gas. If that is not the problem, check your fuel line fittings and make sure that the fuel rail fittings are not leaking as well.

It is back by the AFPR, even though I can't detect a leak. I'm going to tighten everything up though just to make sure.
