    Did you step in fuel? May be crank case gases?

    Do you have a fuel pressure gauge. They are supposed to have an electrical sensor only, but some people plumb in a mechanical gauge that has fuel in a tube coming right up to the gauge, so it could be leaking there if that was the case.

    I had the plastic line crack on one years ago at the gauge. Replaced with copper. It weeped just enough to stink but not drip. Good luck

    Got to get your head under there and check the line from firewall to gauge to be sure.
