So, I sea foamed my car(twice). First time I did 2/3 in the tank, and 1/3 in the vacuum line(no oil because I couldn't afford an oil change at the time).

2nd time I put the whole thing in the vacuum line and now fuel smell occurs. No smoke, but now it smells like fuel. What's that?

    are you going through alot of fuel? could be injectors pulse width is too long now. when is the last time you changed oil? the oil is designed to pull off combustion dirty oil can smell like fuel

    Well, I bought the car a few months ago and needless to say, the oil needs to be changed. I hit a curb unfortunately so I probably have a small fuel leak.

    Thanks for your input. I will change the oil as it is almost 6,000 miles past due.

    P.S, I get about 300 miles per tank so I think I'm doing pretty good on fuel.
