Strong gas smell in cabin
Do you guys have any ideas as to what would cause me to smell gas when I am sitting inside my car?

Your line going to the fuel pump might be starting to rust through.

search carbon canister here on the forum... basically when they go bad they give off a gasoline smell in the cabin.

Reading your thread title quickly out loud is funny and turns it into something else.
Did you replace the o-rings when you changed the injectors? Look for fuel around them after running the engine. |

Searched it, nothing came up except my thread. And I did replace the O-rings as well as the valve gaskets. I guess I'll need to check the fuel line.

I just checked the other site and on there it says charcoal canister. Guess they are the same. How will I know if its bad? Will it smell horrible?

the charcoal canister is bascially a vent device so that the gas tank fumes do not dump into the atmosphere. I highly doubt it is the problem though. Before doing anything, see if the smell is coming from the front or the rear of the cabin.
