Smell fuel when stopped

[John Larkin]

Took the car to work today, ran great, got the A/C charged up. When I am stopped at a light, I can smell the E85. I have a TT chip. Idle in park, my O2 is about 770. Can I lean it out a little or does everyone's car put out an E85 scent? Fuel pressure is 40 at idle also and rock solid until I get into boost.

Raw fuel smell? If so, No. You have a leak somewhere.
Otherwise, if it smells like alky burning thats what it supposed to smell like.

It smells like alky. There is no leak thank goodness. Definitely an exhaust smell. Thanks for confirming.

I have run 50/50 mix of E85/93 and never smelled alcohol. If you continue to smell fuel, check fuel system again. You don't want a fire!

Smell on long decel can be intoxicating.............. you know you're running good when you're pulled over and asked to take a breathalyser by the locals
