Yes. I notice that when I have my 93 F250, 7.5L reg cab truck in my garage. It has a really strong fuel odor coming from the engine compartment, seems like or it may be somewhere else. Please help me with this, because it damn near knocks you on your a$$ if it's left in the garage for awhile and then you go back out there. Hell it's been so intense at times that it started to come into the house. I had to air out the garage and move my truck with the quickness or my wife was going to and that would've been real ugly. Please help me with this issue. Thanks.

Check the fuel rail/fuel lines if its leaking, the charcoal canister if its saturated with fuel-if all okay-have the evaporative control system checked out thoroughly by doing a smoke test to locate the leak
