hard start and the smell of gas

[Tahoe_96]

So I noticed the smell of gas coming from under the hood couple days ago...and today it started. Having hard starts. Has new spider injectors with new fuel regulator.also has new plugs and new cap and rotor...any ideas what else it could be

Did you get the updated injectors? how many miles are on the truck/motor?

Betting its the fuel filter. It's probably clogged causing hard start an smel of gas. Replace it at least it will give more mpg at most it will fix your problem. It's easy to replace
