There is a tube that runs under the passenger side of the car that vents fuel vapor on warm days . . . after a good hard run home from work my garage fills up with fuel vapor from the under side of the car. Does this happen to anyone else . . . this really started happening a lot last summer and starting to notice it again . . . not really noticeable at all this last winter. I am running Hoppen/Lehman stage IV software (26-27 max overboost), 8.5:1 compression pistons, RS2 turbo, RS2 extrude honed ex. manifold, RS2 injectors, Lehman modified cyl. head, Strommung 3" turbo back exhaust (mit cat), stock MAF, metal bypass valve. I had the dealers recall done on the fuel line so that is definitely not where the vapor is coming from. In fact I can get under the car and see the fumes coming out of the tube I decribed on a hot day. Is the just something normal . . . I just can't believe how vaporous the garage smells and even my wife can tell it aint coming from my backside. TIA.
