Catching fire but still runs. It will start up but smoke and smells like gas leak behind the engine.

Hi,

Has it caught on fire? As far as having a fuel smell, that can be dangerous. The fuel line is mostly steel that can rust and rupture.

I attached a pic showing the supply and return line off the fuel rail. Trace these and see if you are able to locate where there is a leak.

Let me know.
