yeah,if its from the front,check the rubber part of the fuel lines,and then the injectors could be leaking or the fuel pressure regulator.

LOL!! Be careful with that fuel problem! I had that same problem with my old Bronco II and when I finally figured out why it smelt so much like fuel it was because I had a fuel leak ON TOP OF MY ENGINE BLOCK!! Needless to say after my friend bought it from me (to put a new engine in it) the bay caught on fire on the way to his house....

I'm new here and I don't know if you fixed the problem but it is pretty common for these cars to leak gas where the main fuel line comes in to the back of the fuel rail nearest the firewall. It is the big nut next to the fuel pressure regulator. Bleed the system and change out the o-rings. Try that.

so hows the car w/ the adjustable fuel pressure regulator? if you want i can turn the psi up a little. if you still semll gas then the only other thing it can be is the evap canister. your fuel pressure held for a long long time.lol
