I have a 1995 850 Turbo with about 185K miles. People here may recall I replaced my fuel regulator recently. My first experience with fuel injection, I have to admit I wondered if I got the fuel rail seated properly.

The car runs fine, and the regulator (thanks, Klaus) solved the slow start problem. HOWEVER, I now have a fuel odor in the car. At first, it appeared only after driving, when I got back in the car after the first stop. Now it looks like it is just THERE. I haven't driven for two days, and there is a strong fuel odor in the car ( I haven't started it yet ).

I can't detect any odor near the fuel rail, or for that matter under the hood. Open the door and a strong odor hits me.

I have looked on the ground when restarting, and I don't see any moisture. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am starting to get lightheaded :D
