when i started my car tonight, i let it warm, and when i was behind it, there was a petrol smell.. does this mean it's running rich? what can cause that? and how can i fix it?? i do need to replace the O-rings and fuel pump, could this be a related problem?

mate whenever you start your car either when its cold or been slightly warm ofcourse its going to be running rich. if you really want to make sure, let it warm up to normal temperature, about 90 degrees and then see if you can smell any petrol. normaly if its idling you shouldnt smell anything.
the smell is always there lately..
after a 1 hour drive down the freeway, it was still there..
then you prolly have a leak somewhere...
(and 90 degrees is waaaaaaaay to hot for a cally, they all seem to run at 75-80 max.)
