Gas smell

Hey, so my z4 smells like gas when it’s just sitting turned off. I bought a smoke machine to see if I could find an evap leak, I thought it was the gas cap but it wasn’t everything has pressure with no leaks so I’m curious if anyone knows why the car smells like gas when turned off

You think? Cause when I took the fender liner out and put smoke in I didn’t see any leaks from the canister

Check your fuel line under the intake manifold. I’ve had mine leak at the fitting where the hard line connects to the braided hose.
