Fuel smell on start-up.

[SHOGUN88]

I have been getting a raw fuel smell for the past while only when I first start it up. I know my cats need to be replaced and have some new ones, but dont want to put them on until I get this fixed. Could this be a leaky injector? Any other ideas would be great.

Is the car ever hard to start?

I had a leak at the spring lock fitting. I had to replace the fitting and a section of the hose.

Yes ever since ive owned it, it has the occasional hard start. The gas smell is more recent.

Check your canister purge solenoid and lines.
