strong fuel smell
Ok guys need help again. Everyone's been greta help and my '94 f250 5.8 lt is running great. However, i notice when I start it after sitting at least an hour a strong gas smell from the exaust. Could it be fuel regulator? Checked vacuum line at different intervals, 5 10 15 and 20 mins on different days and no fuel coming out of vacuum line. I'm up to 10.5 to 11.2 mpg in town. Replaced with new oem coil. Thinking about doing 6 liter tune up

When you get a pressure gauge you want to see that the fuel system builds 40-45psi with a few cycles of the pump(engine not started), and that it holds this pressure. If pressure bleeds off immediately that potentially indicates an injector stuck open though it could also be a result of a stuck/broken check valve in one of the fuel tank delivery modules. To check for a stuck injector simply pull the plugs and look for the one that is wet with fuel.
