So after driving from San Diego to Reno NV I noticed throughout the drive I smelt fuel once in the cab and then when i was putting winshield fluid in. Smell comes heavy when not running on the left side between turbo and intake manifold, yet once started smell totally dissipates on that side and I can smell less on the left. Any comments will help, if its injectors is this hard to replace or fuel line. Not going to lie little frightened.

What year is the vehicle? How many miles are on the vehicle? Any recent maintenance history? We dont want to get ahead of ourselves but you do have to pull the intake manifold if its the injectors or the fuel lines...
It's a 2003 with 88000 miles, I just recently replaced spark plugs, tranny/diff oil, fuel filter, and oil three weeks ago, but I haven't smelt anything since yesterday. Fuel filter is good too I have checked it and there is no smell on that side of the engine.

So I actually took it to a place up here in reno, they checked it out tightened the intake down and believe that it was leaking causing the sensor to think that more air is coming in causing more fuel, anyway can't smell it anymore. So
Hmmm..do you have an aftermarket intake?
