springs don't cost anything to install if you have tools! Sen Bou breathren should have hookups too

You may have to replace your gasket.

Im going thru the same thing, but the gas smell is coming from the rear of the car. Check the internal pump and just replace the gasket. That should fix the problem.

Just following up to see if you ever resolved the problem. I have had the same issue for a while, but only after just filling up or when tank is over 1/2 full. I assume it is the gasket. Anyone have a part # for it? I figure it should be a straight forward DIY.

Ok, I had this problem as well. It started after getting an oil change. The store I got the oil changed at recommended an air filter change when I dropped it off and I declined. When I picked up my 06 G35 sedan there was an atrocious fuel smell in the cabin. You couldn't even drive with the windows up. It turns out they checked the filter under the hood by the forced air induction and one of the bottom clips was not latched back into place. After jamming my giant hand down there and re-latching this clip, the smell disappeared within a few minutes.

Weird, the air box should have nothing whatsoever to do with a fuel smell?
