I've been noticing an occasional raw fuel smell on my '07. Pretty consistent when the system primes, and occasionally when idling. This evening I pulled the tank and air box off for a closer look. At first glance, the hose between the throttle bodies is intact. I'll replace it tomorrow anyway, but are there other obvious places to look while everything is accessible?

Try identify from where are you are smelling the fuel / gas.

Thanks. I definitely don't have the California version canister. From that list, it looks like the primary focus will probably just be the house between the injectors. I'll grab clamps today and swap that.

Don't use the gear/worm type of clamp. Get the fuel injection type clamp. I'd replace the hose too. It is possible to install the new hose with out taking things apart further. If I can do it, so can you.
