Default Fuel smell with vent on

I'm getting a fuel smell when I turn on the car vent. Recently I installed stage 1, a plastic manifold and a hard upper charge pipe. I was thinking maybe the new injectors might not be seated correctly. Anyone with any ideas?

A couple thoughts - I've gotten fuel smell in the car when pump jockey overfills tank or spills some (IN NJ you can't pump your own gas) - but it doesn't last more than a day, so if your smell persists, it's a continuing problem, as gas evaporates pretty quick.
Suggest opening hood with engine running and see if you can pinpoint smell that way. [:I]

Well the fuel smell has gone away, I think when I installed the new injectors for stage 1 Some fuel spilled and soaked into something. Although I was getting kind of used to breathing in fuel vapors while driving
