Gas/Fuel Smell
My only mod is a Mishimoto catch can. I'm getting a strong fuel smell from the front of the car. I've just cleaned the catch can thinking it was that as the fluid it collects has that fuel smell to it. I am still getting some scent.
Anyone else having a similar issue? Mainly I'd like to know if it's catch can related before I have the dealer look at it. The hoses are right, tight etc. Thanks

Happened to me also. Went to the dealer, they found a leaky injector on cylinder 4. That was at 560 miles.

Is this the line that goes over top of the plastic engine cover?
So I talked to Mishimoto. I was finding that the hoses have a thin film on them that have a fuel smell on them, but I wasn't seeing any cracks or leaks. The Rep at Mishimoto said he's seen this before on a Mustang where the hoses became porous. They are going to replace the hoses but not until after the 9th as they are in a warehouse move..... I am going to replace the hoses on the catch can and see if I still have the issue. If so I will mention this to the dealer. Thank you.

I just started noticing the smell. I have a Mishimoto catch can also. I guess if it continues I'll call them.

The bottom fitting seems to wear off each time it's unscrewed if using a drain hose as well. I ended up using some plumbers tape just around the threads on each fitting there and now to drain it I uninstall it just to unscrew the top. A metal fitting as G Fo12ce mentioned would be great. I occasionally notice a slight fuel smell.

Stainless steel fittings
I didn't even used the supplied plastic fittings. I bought stainless fittings for the can. Bottom one is a ball valve. works great, easy open and close, no leaks.

Appreciate the info. The local place to me Hillco Fasteners has some 3/8 npt thread 1/2 in. barb aluminum fittings in stock. They are black too, same as my can. I'm going to pick those up tomorrow. I just have to wait until the 9th for Mishimoto to replace my hoses.
